We are always interested in working with collectors, archives, museums, libraries, and other collections to enhance their holdings. On request, we will quote items that may be of interest prior to listing them. This usually represents a savings to our customers, since we do not have to invest time and money in on-line listing.
Our holdings are far more extensive than is represented on-line. We are particularly keen on ephemera of cultural history interest, including maps, photographs, significant post cards, advertising, brochures, pamphlets, magazines, etc. Please contact us if you have general or specific needs.
ABOUT USThe Prints & The Paper is a modest, mostly home-based business. It is run, in fact, by ye cataloger, Lee (spousal unit Gary maintains he is the 'fetcher and toter' of the team). My catalog entries often include some wry commentary and humble personal opinions, which some folks find amusing and no doubt others think annoying. Take a look at some of them and judge for yourself!
