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.

Curator of the Oxford Botanic Garden

Published 1834-1840s, Oxford, England

Original 180+-year-old copperplate engravings by Isaac Russell, C. Mathews and others
with fine, delicate hand-colouring, as issued.
Sheet size=approximately 5.25 x 8.75 inches
Original text page included whenever available.

NOTE: Some of the prints have text offsetting (transfer of ink from the facing text page).
[We have found that using an art gum eraser (not a pencil eraser!)
can erradicate or lessen the appearance of the transferred ink in most cases.]
