Description: Restored and improved imagePhoto by W. J. Baker taken 1892, of a bust of Ludwig van Beethoven by Franz Klein, 1812 This is the closest you can get to a photo of Beethoven. The bust was sculpted from an 1812 mask of the composer's actual face. Then, in 1892, a photo was taken of the sculpture. And this is an improved reproduction of that photo. Please see our other photos and art prints of composers and other famous people as well. Check out all our items! You will receive a 5-inch by 7-inch (5x7) print that will ship the next business day after you pay, unless you request to substitute digital images on a CD. (See "CD option" below.) You must make your request on the same day that you pay for this item. Larger-size prints are also available, listed separately. (See "Larger prints are available" below.) The 5x7 print is shown here. Other sizes will show more black background on the left and right sides to fit the shape. This improved print was made for you new, in a photo lab. We have taken great care to preserve the sharpness and old look while removing scratches, spots, and other damage that would make it less viewable.

Tone: Your print has a sepia tone as shown. Sepia is the color of old prints today, caused by acid in the old paper. Many people prefer the warm sepia tones over cold black and white. Your sepia print will be on acid-free paper, but it will look old. Black and white is available, listed separately. Click "Ask a question" to ask how to purchase black and white.Finish: Your print has a luster finish that reduces glare. Glossy is available, listed separately. Click "Ask a question" to ask how to purchase glossy finish.Border: Your print has a minimum border. This means that there may be some white edges (less than 1/4 inch wide) outside the image so that you can display the maximum amount of the image in a typical display device that hides the edges of the print. Quality: We select the highest-quality images we can find and carefully restore and improve them. Old photos do not meet today’s high standards due to the limitations of the materials and methods available in those days, and due to aging and damage. But we improve them as much as we can while preserving an old look. Then we process them using modern archival methods so they can be affordable and last for many years. CD option: You can request to substitute a CD instead of a print. The CD will contain more than one version of the image, including at least one cropped close-up, that are optimized for digital display in digital presentations, social media, e-mail, and websites. The images will not exceed 1200 pixels in the longest dimension, and thus may not fill the screen when used for high definition displays. If we have additional information about an image, we will include a text file as well. We also include additional related images on the CD. You must request the CD in eBay on the same day that you pay. The CD and images shall not be printed nor reproduced for sale nor distribution. Packaging: We ship 5x7 prints and CDs flat with a stiff board to prevent folding, in a sturdy envelope. Shipping time: Your 5x7 print or CD will ship the next business day after we receive your payment. If you purchase additional eBay items from quaintcards to ship together, an extra day may be required. The time required by the postal services to deliver your package depends on shipping method, Customs requirements, weather, holidays, and other factors beyond our control.

For destinations outside the U.S.A., buyer pays actual postage.Copyright: This image is a significantly cleaned-up and improved version.
