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.

Opera Stars from the Metropolitan Opera and other companies

Original photo halftones from circa 1906, from an unidentified theatre publication.
[The colored prints are from hand-tinted black and white negatives]

These prints are over 115 years old, NOT modern reproductions!

The prints are "tipped" (adhered on one edge) onto black construction/craft-type paper.
Some have printing on the back that does not show through to the front.
