About Gallery of Prints
Since our establishment in 1995, or 28 years ago, we have grown and become internationally renowned as specialists of historical original printed material about the Philippines, dating back to the 16th Century.
We are offering the connoisseur and collector of art and history of the Philippines and Southeast Asia an unsurpassed inventory of antique prints and maps covering six centuries, a volume and scope that compares favourable with any Gallery in ASEAN or on any other Continent for that matter.
In 1998, we published the first comprehensive compendium of antique prints on the Philippines with the book "The Philippines in the 19th Century", and throughout the years, we added posters, postcards, reproductions, and other individual items intended to showcase the Philippines of the past to a broader audience. These local publications complement our huge range of antique maps, views, and prints on zoology, ornithology, ethnology, anthropology, geography, and other natural sciences.
In 2018, we hosted the IMCoS Symposium accompanied by an Exhibition of those antique maps and prints used by all lecturers in their presentations, and published the book "Insulae Indiae Orientalis" documenting the lectures and exhibition in the Ayala Museum, which - for the first time in more than 100 years - showed 3 original large Murillo de Velarde 1734 maps with the vignettes together with all later editions, among many other rarities.
As with many other international galleries, we also offer ancillary services such as acid free, museum-style conservation matting and framing, Picture Frame Hanging Systems and non-reflective glass, procured from our sister company Rudolf Lietz, Inc., a direct importer, and we sell to other galleries, contractors, interior decorators or DIY individuals as well.
Lastly, the location of the Gallery in a large Shopping Mall is conducive to attracting tourists or business visitors alike, looking for special corporate or individual gifts from a range of products not found elsewhere.
