Treasures from THE PHILADELPHIA / DELAWARE VALLEY COLLECTION at The Willing Mind. By exclusive arrangement with The Grand Review.

Print size 16 x 24, and consciously formatted to work with a standard 16 x 24 frame, or custom framed as you see fit.

The S.S. United States sits quietly in a dock along Delaware Avenue in Philadelphia, majestic even while forlorn and a shabby. There have been any number of ideas floated concerning how to save and repurpose this superstar of mid century design and still unrivaled speed record holder for a transatlantic ocean liner.

My vote would be for a really groovy hotel, pushing the original interior design elements to even more intergalactic 50s style. Not garish, but solidly breathtaking. Then place it as the centerpiece of Penn's Landing. American and international visitors would make an extra effort to make sure Philadelphia was a major part of their vacation experience, just so they could include a night or two aboard the S.S. United States.

When I've taken this print out to a show, it is hard to clearly describe the personal, emotional attachment people have to this ship. I have been lucky to hear their excited, gushing tales of emigrating to this country as a child, of long being told by goofy parents that they were conceived on board, that their dear old aunt and uncle still revere the experience of their return to Europe for a visit on board this ship that represented so much of what was good and forward thinking about America.

My wife and kids went with me when the ship, ragged as it is, was lit up at night for the first time in its current location. I took a framed copy of this image, restored from an original in our collection, down to the event to offer it to The Conservancy for an ongoing fundraiser for them. I'd offer it at cost to them, and they'd sell them and keep the rest.

Funny thing was I had one copy with me, and this was a crowd who was fairly rabid in their fanatic dedication to this ship and huge numbers demanded to see the print as we strolled. Could I have sold a few hundred copies right there? The rolling eyes of my beloved seemed to suggest just that. Ouch!

A NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.

Every print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps. The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands. That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here. See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”

There is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.

There is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.

Then there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road. I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle! So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.

This dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.

Of good quality...
Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I believe this matcha to be of good quality. However I am fairly new to Matcha in general. Yet I have tried a few different manufacturers. And this is best thusfar. A vibrant green and firm flavor. Foams properly with appropriate technique. Enjoy.

Decent Matcha! I Recommend!
Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is actually not bad, especially for the price! Great color, good taste. Larger size means a little more bang for your buck without sacrificing quality. I find this Matcha equal to others in the same price range but you get a little more. Of course it’s not the exquisite quality but if you are shopping for Matcha in this price range then it’s a great choice. Would buy again.

Amazing quality and value
Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This matcha is a great value. I find others in large packaging do not have the best taste, but smaller ones are often so expensive. This one tastes amazing and it's not going to break the bank, especially if you can get it on sale. It blends nicely when using a matcha whisk, and I love making iced protein matcha lattes with it!

Best budget friendly matcha
Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I was skeptical, but it turned out to be very good for a budget friendly matcha. It was very smooth and wasnt gritty. Had a slight bitterness but not in an unbearable way. And did not have that strong grassy taste that alot of cheaper matchas have. I will definitely be repurchasing

would buy again, ifff i’m on a budget
Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
this matcha is okay which is expected for its price. it’s not the usual authentic japanese matcha. it’s made in china. it is a bit better than i expected! other matcha powders are pretty expensive and it shows in the taste. this matcha did surprisingly have a nice green color. it was darker than i expected and didn’t have a yellow hue which i don’t like. it seems fresh. i don’t know if it gave me energy. i am currently drinking some in the evening and i don’t feel much of a difference as i type this. i used about two heaping spoonfuls and a half (not really a spoonful. yk that little wooden scoop.. it’s called a chashaku) and the taste wasn’t that strong but maybe i used too much water when i mixed it. if the taste were stronger i would give this 4 or 5 stars. i like a noticeable matcha taste. i would say it’s not very strong at all but i’ll take it for this price if i’m on a budget. i paired it with torani almond syrup and i feel like i can taste the syrup more and i didn’t even add that much. like i said, i’ll take it for this price or cheaper but i wouldn’t pay more than $15 for it. i would buy again if i’m looking for something less expensive. but if not, i’d say it’s better to splurge a bit if you’re picky about the taste strength !
