stories worth telling
In a world where everything is about progress and looking ahead, it can sometimes be good to pause and reflect on where we come from.
There is an incredible wealth of photographs, paintings, and illustrations in archives around the world. It is artists who, hundreds of years ago, poured their souls into creating remarkable works, and today many of these lie forgotten in an archive.
Imagine if Bauer, Strindberg, or Billmark knew that, more than 100 years later, their motifs would become some of our most popular and adorn the walls of thousands of people across the Nordics.
That is exactly what we at Historly want to do: bring history to life while helping our customers place something on their walls that means a little more than mere decoration.
Quality that does justice to the originals
High-quality paper
We work exclusively with paper and canvas of the highest quality and durability to create the right conditions for colour reproduction and longevity
Respectful restoration
Behind the images we offer lie hundreds of hours of research, retouching, and sometimes restoration to give the works the treatment they deserve
The story behind the motif
For us, the image is only part of the experience. Most images have a story worth bringing forward. That is what makes us unique and why we can say that we offer more than just posters.
A "lost" cultural treasure
Behind the images we offer lie hundreds of hours of research, retouching, and design to give the works the treatment they deserve.
It is not easy to navigate many of the archives that exist, and sometimes we may need to go through thousands of images to find a true gem.
Once we have found an image we like, the work of restoring and retouching it begins, with damage removed and colours restored. This can sometimes take days.
Finally, work begins on the most important step – the story behind the image. For us, the image is only part of the experience. Most images have a story worth bringing forward. That is what makes us unique and why we can say that we offer more than just posters.
"Our cultural heritage should not only be preserved in archives – it should be brought forward, made accessible, and allowed to live on in the homes of new generations"
