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.

Original aquatint etchings from
the Paris Etching Society (N.Y., USA) and Sidney Z. Lucas
Printed in France by Sidney Z. Lucas, 1930s-1940s

Original aquatint etchings on sturdy woven paper
These are original prints from the 1930s-1940s and NOT modern reproductions.
Most of the aquatint etchings were produced in France (stamped on back of print) in limited runs of about 300-350.

Unfortunately, the handwritten titles and signatures by the artists in pencil on the etchings are usually illegible.
While we have tried to decipher them, they are, at best, educated guesses. Corrections are welcome.

Please click on the thumbnail images below to view the enlargements for any age-related conditions.
The Darvill's electronic watermark does not appear on the antique print.
