This place offers a wide and varied assortment of 19th-century etchings, engravings, and maps, many of them antique, and all of them reasonably priced. Other outlets have minor displays of these collectibles, but this outlet has the finest. Some items are 400 years old. It's usually best to discuss your interests with Mr. Ramsey, the owner, so he can direct you to the proper drawers. His specialties include The Bahamas, Civil War-era America, and the history of African-descended peoples. He also has a collection of military historical items. The shop also features a selection of primitive Haitian art. You'll find the shop on the second floor of the Mason's Building on Bay Street.
