Christian Collin gallery
Booth N°20
Since 2005, in the heart of Paris’s 2nd district, between the Palais-Royal and the National Library, Christian Collin has been welcoming print enthusiasts to his gallery. Here you can discover a vast but discerning selection of prints from the 16th century to the present day.
Within this vast selection, the gallery specialises in antique engravings and Japanese prints.
For its fifth participation in the fair, the gallery is presenting a selection of beautiful pieces. Among the prints chosen, you can find rare anatomical prints by Gamelin, large views of ruins by Piranesi, landscapes by Hiroshige, street scenes by Buhot and flowers and birds by Kono Bairei.
