How do I care for antique prints?

Keep prints away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the ink and yellowing of the paper support. Ensure framing uses acid-free mountboard and UV-filtering glass to protect the fragile paper from humidity and atmospheric pollutants.

What is an architectural engraving?

These are detailed prints recording classical buildings, ruins, and decorative elements from antiquity, often measured and drawn by specialists. They frequently combine precise structural rendering with mythological figures connected to the specific site or temple.

How are periods identified?

Periods are determined through stylistic indicators, printing techniques, and documentation tied to known artists and publishing dates. Seventeenth-century works often show heavier ink application and distinct plate marks compared to later eighteenth-century neoclassical plates.

What subjects appear most often?

Greek and Roman gods, architectural antiquities from Athens, and scenes involving satyrs or mythological battles dominate the traditional subjects. Later works introduce fairy tales and Renaissance revival compositions alongside these classical themes.
