Historic Archive

Vintage Photos from 1940's to present -   See Mobile Press Register article of 4/5/06.

Thigpen Photography's Historic Archives date back to the 1940's when we were established in Mobile, Alabama. We've captured images from all over the Gulf Coast area which we maintain in a database.   Here are some examples (click on image to see a larger view or visit our galleries):

NOTE - These are low quality - we can reprint these images from 8x10 to large format from our negatives with much finer quality and detail.
