19th century, several firms, such as Rock & Co. & JS (Newman) published a
series of delightful Vignette View
Books, covering many of the main towns and cities of the British Isles.
In many cases these would have been commissioned by a local bookshop to meet
the demands of tourism, which was growing in line with the building of
railways. These continued until the 1870's, by which time Postcards were
being introduced as vacation memorabilia. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE VIEWS. PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGES TO ENLARGE

These Scans Pages have been left on-line as
a permanent record of some of the fascinating antiquarian books,
historical and antique maps, prints, engravings and lithographs, that
passed through my Company, Postaprint, before my retirement after many
years in the Antique Map and Print Business. I hope you will find them to be informative, both for the Shopper looking for gift ideas & for Researchers, who may find them to be a useful reference resource. |
The pages provide images of many 1000's of
old, collectable and historic examples of cartography and illustrations
by leading artists of their generation, mostly from the 16th to the 19th
centuries. Many of these are becoming very scarce and quite rare. Who knows when we may see some of them again! E-MAIL ENQUIRIES |
