About us
Vancouver Antiquarian sells rare paper material of all kinds from the Middle Ages to circa 1950: books, documents, photographs, prints, maps, postcards, newspapers, broadsides, posters, playing cards, scrapbooks, and ephemera. Regions of focus include Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the Pacific Northwest, the eastern United States, England and Scotland, France, Germany, and Italy. Current subjects of interest are Vancouver historical items and British Columbiana, especially photographs, newspapers, and postcards; the medieval period, calligraphy, and 18th century Italian prints. Our preference is for material with indications of prior ownership history such as signatures, inscriptions, book plates, and annotations, even humble library markings; and we do extensive research on the provenance which often turns up surprising results. The hunt is always for the artifact rather than the perfect copy, and we strive for the unique, the difficult to obtain, and "rare thus".

- t***6 (1829)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis order was the fastest mail delivery that I have ever encountered, so far! The packaging for the two postcards was also A-1. Each postcard was exactly as described by the Seller. Due to the scarcity of these particular postcards, I feel the value paid for them was appropriate. I'd happily purchase from this Seller again, due to his great communication skills, and having postcards for sale about the region of the Yukon I value so much. Many Thanks/
