Major cities all over the world boast of at least one art gallery specialising in antique prints. The Gallery of Prints enjoys the distinction as the country’s first and only gallery to permanently offer antique books, maps, and prints.
Aside from its very large collection of 16th century woodcuts, 17th and 18th century copper engravings, 19th century steel engravings and lithographs, the Gallery of Prints also offers antique books and publications specialising in but not limited to the Philippines. Themes cover a wide range including Southeast Asia, and the rest of the world, alongside maps and views, botany, zoology, costumes and architecture, all providing fascinating glimpses into world history.
In 2025, The Gallery of Prints became the first and only Philippine member of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association (ABA), the UK’s leading trade body for experts in rare books, manuscripts, and prints. As part of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) network, our membership aligns us with institutions worldwide that uphold excellence, ethics, and scholarship in antiquarian bookselling.
A Treasure Trove of Philippine History — Featured in BusinessWorld
Step into the past at Gallery of Prints, the Philippines’ first and only gallery devoted to antique maps and prints. From 16th-century charts that first named our islands “Filipina” to wartime silk maps and rare ethnographic prints, every piece reveals a story of exploration, culture, and identity.
Recently featured in BusinessWorld as a Filipiniana treasure trove, our Parañaque showroom houses centuries of heritage carefully preserved, beautifully displayed, and proudly accessible to Filipinos.
