We Offer: A large selection of antique prints with a focus on 16th through 19th century prints, maps, illustrated books and art. We are dedicated to being a trusted resource for both the serious prints collector and occasional buyer. We buy and sell ! We recently decided to build individual websites with specific prints specialties. Soon all our material related to The Netherlands will be avaible at our new site:

The 17th century Dutch moralist and poet Jacob Cats inspired us to write the following. It seemed to us a good introduction to our collection:


" To our visitors:
View this Site
as a wide and open field:
The cow will take its nourishing grass;
The bees its honey and its wax ,
The frog will find its succulent fly;
The stork a lizard for its meal,
The sow will dig up roots;
Humans their medicinal herbs,
The spider will devour its prey;
To each its own, such is the way. "
