Garton & Co was established as specialist print dealers in 1973.

The firm has an international reputation and has sold prints to over 150 museums and public collections.

Originally, the firm traded from a small Dickensian shop at the back of London's Bond Street. In 1992, after sales of over 15,000 prints, it moved to Devizes, a small market town in Wiltshire, to the west of London, between London and Bath.

Prints may be viewed by appointment either in Wiltshire or in London, where a small office is maintained.

The firm also publishes art reference books in small editions. For example, Guichard's BRITISH ETCHERS, 1850-1940 seems to have been the first book on the subject for well over 50 years, when it was published as our first book in 1977.

Details of available publications including original PRINT PORTFOLIOS may be found under PUBLICATIONS.

Garton & Co founded the London Original Print Fair in l985. This is held each year at the Royal Academy in London.

The Company has three special areas of focus

1. German Expressionism and Neue Sachlichkeit: paintings, drawings and prints. For example, the firm holds stocks of major expressionist artists, such as Kirchner, Schmidt-Rottluff and Beckmann.

2. British prints from the period of Blake and Bewick through the Etching Revival (including prints by Whistler) together with both traditional and modern prints up to 1950

3. Dutch and other European paintings, drawings and prints from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century
