A HISTORY OF BRITISH BIRDS

VOLUME 6

This Page is provided as a REFERENCE RESOURCE - it is NOT an Inventory.

POSTAPRINT supplied picture framers and antiquarian map & print dealers for over over a quarter of a century. Examples of the cartographer's art from the 16th to the 19th century, along with engravings, lithographs and etchings by leading artists of their generation. Historical maps, views, and engravings on virtually every subject, including Vanity Fair (Spy) Cartoons. Postaprint also supplied antique prints and maps to Art Galleries, Shops and Fine Art Retailers.

Although I have now retired and the Postaprint Website & ordering facilities are no longer available, these Reference Pages are being left in place. We do hope you will find them to be helpful and informative. They cover many of the pictures and maps we had the pleasure of dealing in over so many years.
A full index of all such pages will be found
HERE.

My wife does have an eBay Store, with a nice range of antique prints, engravings, maps and books.
