Hello All:
As some of you may know, I'm a magazine editor and writer. I'm presently working on a story for a print magazine about the Sheer Look, Frigidaire's 1957 introduction of squared-off appliance styling.
I am in need of photos for this story, and I'm hoping someone here can help. What I need- in high resolution- is:
1) A shot of a Control Tower washer and dryer pair, preferably the TOL models. This needs to be a "glamour shot" of really good-condition machines. Washer lid should be down.
2) Any scans of pristine print ads showing the Sheer Look models making the Sheer Look sign with their hands. The earlier the print ad, the better, because we're discussing the 1957 Sheer Look introduction, not the rest of the Sheer Look years. The scans need to be high-res (see below), and not cropped or cut off in any way.
"High resolution" has a very specific meaning when you're talking about material for print. It means 300 dpi (dots per inch), in either TIFF or JPEG format, and it means at least five inches by seven. Microsoft Photo Editor can tell you how large a digital photo is; open the photo with MS Photo Editor, and go to the File menu. Click on "Properties", and a window will open telling you the resolution in dpi, and the size of the photo in inches.
If anyone has (or can come up with) suitable material, please email me offlist at [email protected]. No payment is offered for photos, but you will be credited in the magazine, and will receive a copy of the finished issue. And you'll be letting more people know how important appliance history is!
Thanks!
Sandy
