Details: Leila Lyons says that antique prints aren't just pretty pictures, they are also historical documents. From the Renaissance age to the 1920s, among wealthy Europeans, buying a print was as popular as buying a book. Architecture and botanical prints are the most collectible. Prints were used as a tool to educate people about foreign lands.
