Home

We are enthusiasts for antique illustrations and the written word and in particular, the role that narratives have in forming

our identities, our sense of the world and our place in it. The written word weaves a spell that insinuates its way into the

hearts and minds of the populace - forever changing the course of the future to move humanity forward to the beat of the

Hero's drum - and when associated with powerful visual images like those within the Collection, that spell is all the more

potent.

Over time, almost as if guided by the Fates, we have found ourselves the self-appointed guardians of this magnificent

Collection of antique illustrated books and in performing this role, we seek to pay homage to the Masters who were

inspired to create these artworks and enhance the stories they convey. Similarly, we are ever mindful of our role in sharing

this with the rest of the world and our fellow lovers of great art. Thus, we hope to contribute to the preservation and

ongoing promotion of the artwork within the collection to others throughout the world who will also be captivated by

these stories and images.

It is in this context that we introduce ourselves through the short illustrated tale shown above - and we hope that you will

join us in enjoying the Collection and also sharing this wonderful art with your family and friends.

Best wishes
