      I ordered a bunch of framed prints as gifts, and one for myself. I love them, I want more, wish my whole house was salon-style pictures from PDR.

      Just gorgeous prints - I’ve ordered around four over the years and they’re honestly faultless. Huge recommendation.

      I got a framed Munch print as a Christmas gift for my brother. The print was beautiful with super clear resolution and the framing was immaculate.

      Beautiful reproductions, incredible imagination and imaginative curation. Great care taken with packaging and presentation.

      I own several PDR prints and have also given them as gifts. The attention to detail never disappoints! This is true from the curation to the artifact that you receive in the mail. Highly recommended.

      I’m addicted to these prints. The quality is exceptional and if you’re a fan of the PDR, then these are a no-brainer. I’ve got a small collection now. They also make for excellent, original gifts.

      The PDR print shop is an excellent resource for unusual and unique prints from every era and style. They are beautifully executed, and arrive quickly. My highest recommendation!

      Stunning prints in excellent quality. I could not be happier with the results. I will continue to fill my home with art from PDR’s prints shop.

      Originally published in 1917 as a 6-foot-long three-sheet lithograph in scroll form (and subsequently as a reduced-size single sheet circa 1920), An Anciente Mappe of Fairyland by Bernard Sleigh presents a kind of “extended universe” of mythology and fairytales. Narcissus fixates on his reflection in the woods outside of Little Red Riding Hood’s house; Ulysses sails into a cove where Peter Piper and Puss in Boots romp; Lancelot climbs a mountain that also houses the Hydra and Cerberus. The map is framed by tanning mermaids, tricksy fairies, and highly ornamented borders. At its center, on the distant horizon, we find the Moone’s Sphere, circled by enchanted rainbows. Taken as a whole, Sleigh’s vision gives the impression that all human stories, all tales of magic and mystery, are piecemeal fragments from a singular, cohesive landscape.
