HERITAGE PRINTS FAQ +

PRODUCT INFORMATION +

What Are Heritage Prints? +

Heritage Prints preserves America's visual history through museum-quality reproductions of rare historical prints. We carefully restore and reproduce prints from the historic Buffalo River Library collection and other prestigious institutions, maintaining their authentic character while making them accessible to contemporary homes. Each print carries forward its own journey - not a mass-produced replica but a faithful representation of American moments captured in time.

What makes Heritage Prints unique? +

Our Heritage Prints honor the time-worn character that only decades can create. We preserve the yellowed paper patina, subtle corner creases, and marks and thumbtack holes where these pieces once hung - all elements that give historical prints their authentic voice. Unlike typical reproductions that sanitize imperfections, we deliberately maintain these marks of time. The subtle aging, texture variations, and authentic patina make each Heritage Print a window to America's past rather than just a picture on your wall.

What collections are available? +

We curate our prints into distinct collections, each telling a unique American story. These include: Recreation Magazine's - Adventure Dog: 12 Months 12 Tales Series featuring the 1896 gentleman sportsman and his adventure dog across twelve monthly sporting pursuits; American Chestnut Tree Collection with historical prints documenting the once-dominant American Chestnut tree; and additional themed collections centered around specific aspects of authentic American experiences. All Heritage Print collections can be found on our website.

What is eCommerce for Good? +

Our eCommerce for Good Heritage Print Collection turns stories into action with 50% of each print's purchase price going directly to worthy causes. When you bring one of these prints home, you're connecting to American heritage while supporting community causes that matter. Current collections include the American Chestnut eCommerce for Good Collection, where 50% of each print's purchase price supports efforts to restore these magnificent trees to their native range.

PRINT QUALITY & SPECIFICATIONS +

Are Heritage Prints Museum & Archival Quality? +

Each Heritage Print is made to order, ensuring exceptional detail and lasting beauty. Your museum-quality Giclée print arrives with a certificate of authenticity and history. We use Hahnemühle fine art paper, an ultra premium 310gsm German Etching – 100% α cellulose paper with a distinct textured surface. Its premium matt inkjet coating meets the highest industry standards for density, color gamut, and image sharpness while preserving the feel of genuine art paper. Our premium water-based inks produce colors independently verified to last 100+ years when displayed properly.

How are Heritage Prints Created? +

We begin with authentic historical prints, maps, books and photographs that are stored or hang in our Buffalo River Library. To augment our collection, we collaborate with museums and prestigious institutions to obtain archival scans of historical pieces. Our careful restoration process maintains each piece's essence - enhancing visibility while preserving the authentic aged character. Rather than creating sanitized reproductions, we deliberately maintain the subtle patina, aged character, and marks of time that give these pieces their authentic voice.

What Sizes are Available? +

Each Heritage Print is sized to honor the originals' size and proportions as seen in vintage antique sources. Our museum-quality Giclée reproduction prints are offered in specific size dimensions that best preserve the authentic character of the historical print. Unframed Fine Art Prints are offered in a single, carefully chosen size that respects the original artwork's size. Heritage Framed Editions include a tasteful border and frame that complement the print while providing proper visual space.

Are Heritage Prints Eco-Friendly? +

Art that doesn't cost the earth. We believe heritage should be preserved in ways that protect our future as well as our past. Our commitment includes: water-based inks with no harmful solvents, premium papers from sustainably managed forests, recycled packaging materials, and partnerships with local, family-owned businesses who share our values.

FRAMING OPTIONS +

What Frame Options are Available? +

Our framed prints feature sustainably sourced frames made from 100% solid Ash wood by a family-owned Vermont business. Frame specifications include: 0.75-inch face, 1.5-inch depth, acrylic conservation glazing, acid-free backing paper, 100% archival matboard, and hanging wire installed. Choose from three classic finishes: Black, White, or Natural Ash.

Why use acrylic glazing instead of glass? +

Our acrylic conservation glazing offers advantages over glass: optical clarity equivalent to museum-quality glass, shatterproof protection for safer shipping and handling, significantly lighter weight for easier hanging, safe for all environments including homes with children, and UV protection to help preserve your print's colors.

CARE & DISPLAY +

How should I care for my Heritage Print? +

To ensure your Heritage Print maintains its beauty: Display away from direct sunlight to prevent fading; When handling unframed prints, wash hands first or wear cotton gloves and handle by the edges; For framed prints, occasionally dust the frame with a soft, dry cloth and never spray cleaners directly on frames or glazing; Use appropriate hardware rated for the weight of your framed print. IMPORTANT: Never clean the print surface itself. If your print requires cleaning, consult a professional art conservator.

What is the best way to display Heritage Prints? +

Heritage Prints act as a prompt for great conversations and provide walls that whisper history. They create the most impact when: Grouped in collections that tell a cohesive story; Displayed at eye level (approximately 60" from floor to center of print); Placed where natural light can highlight the texture without direct sun exposure; Arranged where they can become conversation starters – in dining rooms, kitchens, studies, cabins, bars, or family rooms where people gather.

CERTIFICATES OF AUTHENTICITY AND HISTORY +

What does the Certificate of Authenticity include? +

Each Heritage Print arrives with a numbered certificate that documents its authenticity and heritage story. These certificates include: The historical context and origin of the print; Details about the original artist when known; The specific heritage story the print represents; Technical information about the reproduction process; A unique serial number for your specific print. This certificate not only validates your print's authenticity but serves as an informative companion piece that enhances the story behind your purchase.

What is the Buffalo River Library? +

The Buffalo River Library is a real place located on our Middle Tennessee farm. It houses our collection of original prints, rare books, maps, photographs and historical documents that inspire us. Within the library, some prints hang on our walls, while many are stored in archival boxes. Each item has its own history and serves as inspiration for our Heritage Prints. When we reference a source from our library, it represents a genuine historical artifact in our collection. For collections where we don't possess the original materials, we collaborate with prestigious institutions to license and obtain archival images.
