About Adirondack Retro

Adirondack Retro specializes in authentic vintage magazine advertisements, antique prints, patent prints, and historical paper ephemera. Founded in 2003, the business is dedicated to preserving and presenting original printed material from the early-to-mid 20th century and earlier.

Our inventory consists exclusively of genuine period pieces—original magazine advertisements and original antique prints removed from historic books and publications. We do not sell reproductions except where clearly labeled, such as our made-to-order giclée prints created from digitized originals.

Vintage ads offered by Adirondack Retro were originally published in respected periodicals such as Fortune magazine and The Illustrated London News, among many others. Antique prints in our collection include natural history, ornithology, cartography, and scientific illustration, sourced from scholarly publications and atlases.

Each item is carefully curated, archivally stored, and accurately described to ensure historical integrity and collector confidence. We serve private collectors, interior designers, historians, museums, universities, television and film production teams, and businesses worldwide.

With over two decades of experience, Adirondack Retro has shipped tens of thousands of packages internationally and is trusted for careful handling, accurate provenance, and professional presentation of historic paper artifacts.

Our museum-quality mat and frame service ensures archival preservation and sophisticated display—transforming each original ad or print into a timeless artifact of architectural heritage and visual culture.
