Fine original antique prints. Offering a stunning and extensive collection of antique prints, lithographs, and natural history prints.
For an excellent article on Galen's work, please visit the October 2006 issue of artsceneiowa, where Rob Cline highlights Galen's fascinating collection of antique European bookplates and prints on page 6.
Every print in the collection is matted and mounted using only museum quality acid-free materials (Off-white 100% cotton rag mat, acid-free 'fomecore' backing, framer's tape, etc) and each is sealed in a clear plactic sleeve. Every mat has at least two hand applied "French lines" which add focus and just a touch of elegance. Every print is an original book plate. A copy of the title page from the source book is included with each purchase. These title pages indentify the publisher, the country of publication, the author, the copyright date (usually), and often the name of the illustrator.
