The Historical Carthage Courthouse at Carthage, Illinois.

History Reimagined starts with a collection of photographs of the Carthage Courthouse. I was given the “keys to the kingdom” to do this photography. The photos are from the basement to the dusty books in the attic.

“The Golden Dome. Gateway to the Stars”

You are standing three stories High! An illusion brought to you by the intricately tiled floors!

It is amazing how the floor tiles keep in alignment through all of the floors. Perfect craftsmanship.

“Three Stories High”

A handcrafted photograph capturing a stained-glass dome washed in warm golds and amber. Light filters through intricate leaded patterns, casting concentric halos and geometric shadows. You will feel like you want to reach out and touch the stars. It is brought to life in a classic frame, reminiscent of the Golden Age.

  • Statement wall art for living rooms or study spaces seeking a contemplative focal point.

  • Gift for architecture lovers, collectors of ecclesiastical or vintage-inspired imagery, and anyone drawn to celestial metaphors.

Framed photo of vintage books.

“The Orange Atrium.

This is a statement piece that transforms your living room, dining room, or bedroom with calm confidence. Handcrafted by Ketcham, this photograph uses cool shades of orange to balance warmth and serenity—soft terracottas and muted apricots grounded by subtle shadows. The palette soothes the mind and eases the body, inviting quiet conversation or restful pause.

Place it where you gather, dine, or unwind. Let the cool oranges soften the room and steady the mood—an elegant statement that calms the mind and comforts the body.

“Dust in the Attic”

These beautifully bound leather books are in the attic. Now they are now persevered by using photography. An area never seen by the public. One of a kind. No one will go up there for another 100 years.
