Jacob's Pillow Launches Online Photo Store - June 20, 2008
Becket – Jacob’s Pillow announces the launch of an Online Custom Photo Store, an initiative that will allow the public increased access to many of the historic and rare dance photographs found in the Pillow’s extensive Archives.
The Jacob’s Pillow Archives, open to the public since 1996, chronicle more than 75 years of dance from throughout the world and currently hold more than 350,000 photographs, films, books, historic documents, and costumes. With today’s advanced digital technology, the Pillow is now able to more widely share the vast resources of its Archives. Through its Online Custom Photo Store, the Pillow offers select images from its archival photo collection, including historic, scenic, and artistic images. The public can browse the collection online, select sizes and framing options, and purchase directly from the site. Pillow photos are reprinted on archival-quality paper and shipped directly to customers.
The Online Custom Photo Store also allows customers to create unique gifts with Jacob’s Pillow images. Users can search through photo galleries of dance images and purchase customized gift items including coffee mugs, T-shirts, greeting cards, and mouse pads. The collection of Jacob’s Pillow photos has been organized in themed galleries for easy browsing and new images will be continuously added.
Current available images include a distinctively costumed Ruth St. Denis in her 1930 spectacle Angkor Vat; Joseph Pilates leading one of his first technique classes at Jacob’s Pillow, a technique that would later become an international movement; the legendary ballerina Dame Margot Fonteyn making her Pillow debut in 1973 at the age of 54; modern dance pioneer Martha Graham performing as a student of Pillow founder Ted Shawn; José Limón leaving his mark on modern dance in the studio and on the stage at Jacob’s Pillow; Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis in one of the first color photos ever published of the duo in National Geographic magazine; and action shots of Barton Mumaw, lead member of Ted Shawn’s Men Dancers, whose likeness is the iconic weathervane atop the Ted Shawn Theatre at Jacob’s Pillow.
The Jacob’s Pillow Online Custom Photo Store is powered by tools and services from its photo e-commerce partner, Pictopia, the premier photo commerce provider to some of the world’s top archival, media, and entertainment companies, including the New York Public Library, Associated Press, National Geographic, and many other newswire services, magazines, and newspapers. Pictopia helps these organizations sell high-quality photographic reprints directly to the public.
