The Old Print Shop, Inc

The Old Print Shop is so well regarded by collectors and interior designers that they probably don't even need my review...but will give them a shout out anyways. Highly attentive and helpful staff. The best way to describe their inventory: there's something for everybody, fairly priced, at every price point. Come for the stuff you can afford and enjoy perusing the stuff you'd only be able to buy in your dreams. They'll spend time to help you find something cool regardless of your budget. They also hold in-store events highlighting a specific genre of print or category of maps, etc. so you can learn more about what you collect or find a new category to get into. And the framing--best place in town if you want it done right. Besides the typical quality framing store options and archival options, they have antique reproduction frames that are made based on designs the original owner brought over from Europe at the beginning of last century. They also offer specialty framing techniques like French matting. If you have some vintage framed prints and need an item framed to match they can do it so you don't have to reframe everything (or change the frame but use the existing matte, etc.)

I had such a wonderful time picking out some old maps, which make excellent souvenirs incidentally, to commemorate some of the more exotic places you've been (or want to go). They have so many options! So be prepared to spend a long time poring over stacks of ancient maps like some kind of scholar in the library of Alexandria 😂 If you can't find what you're looking for, they have a lot of boxes in storage that they can fetch for you that aren't on display. And apart from maps, there are also prints and paintings of plants, ships, animals, people, contracts etc. I love it!

Absolutely wonderful experience dealing with Harry from several states away, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchases. The packaging and shipping were top-notch.

I visited this wonderful shop looking for the work of a specific artist. Everyone here was so helpful, welcoming and well-informed that we left with two prints: one by the artist we came looking for and another that we happened upon. Prints were packed very efficiently for us to take on our flight and we can’t wait to visit next time we are in New York.

My word, this is heaven for any map enthusiast. They have an excellent collection of maps, old and new, from across the globe. They also stored contemporary art, a few prints, and other similar objects. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable.

Amazing shop. Filled with world-class prints, maps, and artwork. I didn’t purchase anything, but enjoyed chatting with Scott and viewing the incredible collection. Looking forward to returning next time I’m in town and have some more time

My fiancé and I stumbled upon this treasure trove of American history, art, maps, and so much on our way back from breakfast nearby. I was offered a tour by one of the members of the family (fourth generation) who works at the shop! Their collections are magnificent and hold very rare pieces that you have to see to believe!

My wife and I have frequented The Old Print Shop before our marriage 40 years ago and as I look around our house and my children’s houses they are adorned, or one might say illustrated with imagery from this New York institution. May The Old Print Shop live in forever!
