“The Wizard of Oz” “Until now, Warner Bros. Studios’ vast collection of photographic images from its library of film and television properties has been available only internally," said Greg Dyro, Director, Warner Bros. Photo Lab. “We are thrilled to make this collection of treasured Studio images available to consumers for the first time ever. Whether it’s images from the big-budget classics or photos from lesser-known cult favorites, we truly have something for everyone." The prints are available for direct purchase, either framed or unframed. Each photograph is an archival print on fiber-based paper, produced from an original negative or high-resolution digital scan of a vintage print. The photos generally have a one-inch border to allow for matting and to protect the image area from degradation over time. Photographic prints from the Collection are created with the Giclée printing process, using the latest technology to provide sharper details than any other means of reproduction. Photographs are available as either 11x14” or 16x20” fine art prints, and orders are filled on-site, in the heart of the Warner Bros. Studio lot.
