1913 Thor Single Aluminum Print
Regular price
$250.00
Thor started out as Aurora Automatic Machinery Co. Aurora made the motors for Indian Motorcycles from 1901 to 1907. As part of their agreement, Aurora was allowed to sell the motors to other parties and pay Indian a royalty. Aurora also continued to make other bike parts, but not a complete bike. Aurora started producing their own motorcycles under the name Thor after the contract with Indian expired in 1907. A Thor motorcycle was used in the 1914 Charlie Chaplin film “Mabel at the Wheel”.
Each motorcycle is photographed for 2-3 hours, creating 60-100 images. Every individual part is lit up, and then bits and pieces of those images are combined into one photograph in Photoshop. The Photoshop process can take up to an additional 40+ hours! The final product is printed on ChromaLuxe® aluminum, giving the photos an almost 3-D appearance. Wall floats are pre-attached to the back of the print and float 3/4 inch off the wall when hung. Easy to hang with 1-2 nails.
