      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.

      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 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.

      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.

      Prints arrived relatively quickly and were of very high quality.

      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.

      One of the fifteen exquisite chromolithographs produced from pastel works by French artist and astronomer Étienne Léopold Trouvelot, for The Trouvelot Astronomical Drawings published in 1882. After a somehwat disatrous foray into entomology (he accidentally introduced the highly destructive European Gyspy moth onto North American soil), Trouvelot turned to illustrating the heavens and was invited onto the staff of the Harvard College Observatory when the then director Joseph Winlock saw the quality of his illustrations, and in 1875 he was invited to use the U. S. Naval Observatory's 26-inch refractor for a year. As well as his illustrations, Trouvelot also published some 50 scientific papers, and was credited with discovering "veiled spots" on the Sun in 1875. (Image source: New York Public Library)
