Our third Sales Exhibition of Art in Print showcases several hundred
original pieces by German, French, British, Dutch, Spanish, and other
European artists who accompanied navigators, explorers, and scientists or
simply travelled to feature the beauty and the peculiarities of foreign
lands. Equally, Philippine artists are featured.
The Gallery of Prints
is the first gallery in the Philippines to sell exclusively antique
prints. Each original shown--which is of value both as an antique art
piece as well as magazines about the Philippines, like the 'La Semana',
published during that time. Together, the printed art on exhibit reflects
not merely a fascinating picture of Philippine towns and landscapes, her
people, their interests and customs, her flora and fauna, but also her
struggle with colonisers.
We present with pride our 16-page full colour catalogue featuring some
of the most beautiful pieces on sale, a Philippine first. We are confident
the intriguing aspects of the 19th century will enhance your interest in
her history.
