Rare prints and maps...Since 1918! Click here to go to Darvill's home page.

Since Adirondack Retro acquired Darvill's Rare Prints in August of 2022, we have been working tirelessly on our New State-Of-The Art Website. We are excited to announce that it is now up and running and that our massive inventory of Antique Prints and Rare Maps are being transferred over to the new site daily. In addition to the nearly 500,000 prints found on www.DarvillsRarePrints.com, Adirondack Retro offers an eclectic selection of Antique and Vintage Advertisements along with their Limited Edition Giclee Prints. During this transition, customers will still be able to shop and make purchases on www.DarvillsRarePrints.com.

Georg Wolfgang Knorr
Thesaurus Rei Herbariae Hortensusque Universalis
Nuremberg (1770-1772)

Original 240-year-old, hand-coloured engravings on beautiful, watermarked, 18th-century chain-laid paper

Sheet size: approx. 10¾ x 16 inches.

Ipomoea coccinea
(please click image above for larger view—the actual print is much more vibrant than appears in photo. The digital watermark does not appear on actual engraving.)

PLATE W. 3

Convoloutus coccineus, folio anguloso. Plum.
Gelbe Mende
Ipomoea coccinea

[Morning Glory?]

Condition: Excellent

(please click image above for larger view—the actual print is much more vibrant than appears in photo. The digital watermark does not appear on actual engraving)


Hepatica triloba
(please click image above for larger view—the actual print is much more vibrant than appears in photo. The digital watermark does not appear on actual engraving.)

PLATE L. 13

Hepatica triloba
Anemone hepatica

[Liverleaf wildflower]

Condition: Very Good/Excellent. There is some faint foxing in the upper part of the image. It does not really detract from the beauty of the print and, once matted and framed, would not be noticeable except on the closest examination. A charming example of Knorr's work that is now over 250 years old!
