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.

Vintage Jean-Louis Prévost floral prints

(circa 1930-1940s)

Jean-Louis Prévost was a painter of landscapes and flowers and frequently worked in watercolor. Born in Nointel, France, he was a student of Bachelier and a member of a circle of painters associated with the great botanical artist Gerrit van Spaendonck. He was a member of the Academy of Saint-Luc, exhibiting paintings of flowers and fruits there from 1791 to 1810, and he also exhibited at the Academie Royale. His works are in the collection of a number of French museums. His best known work is the Collection des Fleurs et des Fruits. A series of Cahiers de Fleurs dessineés d'aprés Nature after Prévost and engraved by A. Legrand was issued in the first quarter of the 19th Century. Prints based on paintings by Prévost were separately issued as well, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, some bound in composite sets of prints by various makers. The prints offered here are vintage reproductions from the 1930s through 1940s by Sidney Z. Lucas of New York and New Jersey.

[Note: the large size of the sheet required using digital photography to capture the image. The paper appears darker in the photos, but is actually a creamy off-white. The colors are not as vivid on the actual print, but are as bright as when the were first printed over 70 years ago. It is difficult to get accurate photos of these 16x20 sheets. Thank you for your understanding. We do try to accurately portray the prints we sell, but it is often not quite possible with the limitations of our digital camera and software.]
