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.

—1825—
Original chine colleé etchings nearly 200 years old. (Chine collé method: Chine refers to thin tissue paper, traditionally imported from China, Japan and India. Collé refers to the glue or paste used to attach this thin tissue to heavier Western-made plate paper. The smooth surface of the Oriental tissue papers accepts finer printing detail than the more coarsely textured plate papers. Tissue papers are, however quite weak. Pasting them to thicker paper gives them strength and stability.)
Sheet size: approximately 10.25 x 15 inches (approx. 26 x 38 cm).
Each etching's size varies, but the chine colleé layer on which the etchings are printed measures about 9 x 11.5 inches. NOTE: foxing in the margins is typical on these chine collé prints, but usually does not affect the actual etchings. However, please see enlargements by clicking on the thumbnails in order to assess each. We also have provided condition notes below the thumbnail images.
Please click on a thumbnail for an enlarged view. The entire sheet is too large to scan, thus only the scannable portion is shown.
