Description

Paired with Patrick McGahern Antiquarian Books, this gallery is awash with historical works of art. Victorian watercolours, antique maps, ancient prints and a multitude of first edition books are available for the ardent collector of intellectual beauty. Special "views of Ottawa" prints make excellent souvenirs for those who fall in love with the beautiful city. Upon purchase of a print, there is no fear of damaging it because it can be framed at the rear of the store. Paper restoration services are also available.
