Surprise and Delight with a gift.

Surprise and Delight with a gift.

Have you considered the ultimate gift for your friend or associate? - one that will continue to intrigue and give entertainment as it is shared with others over the years? A well-chosen gift can provide a passion in a new subject – and temporarily erase any worries of work or home.

As retirement looms, the ultimate gift can inspire enthusiasm where there might be concerns for what may lie ahead, after retirement perhaps from a vocation that has absorbed years of commitment and hard work? (That’s “vocation” not “vacation”!).

(Illustration is of an original hand-coloured antique map - beautifully coloured "A New and Accurate Map of Ireland" circa 1747 by Emanuel Bowen.) Bowen was renowned for his entertaining personal comments - as in this map with comments on the fishing in the region of the Nymph Bank, in the lower right corner of the map.

If the gift is for someone and you don't know if they like maps, I'm sure we can help you to select a suitable fine antique print - that will be appreciated and treasured. 

We also have lovely Heritage Editions reproductions and Limited Edition prints (e.g. John Gould Australian Fiery Parrakeet, illustrated) if your budget is little and your desire is large and you want to give it framed.. We have a huge selection and a wide range of solutions that are guaranteed to please - and they are not all maps and prints, though we do have solutions in that area of a wide variety of sizes, styles, subjects and prices.

If you need inspiration, come and see us at the Antique Print Club-house at Neranwood in the hills behind the Gold Coast south of Brisbane in Australia (refreshments are provided if we know when you are coming). If that's geographically impossible, and this selection of Blogs doesn't help, browse through our Antique Print club website at http://www.antiqueprintclub.com, or phone us on 61(0)7 5525 1363. We may take a little while to reach the phone, so if we don't answer immediately, leave your contact details and we will return your call. Better still, email Kathryn at sales@antiqueprintclub.com .
