Rare Prints. Real Stories. Timeless Beauty.

Established in 1995, Gallery of Prints is the Philippines’ first and only gallery specializing in original antique prints and rare books, many dating back to the 16th century. With a focus on Philippine history and Southeast Asia, we offer collectors and connoisseurs an unparalleled selection of historical maps, views, globes and prints.

Now located in our permanent home, Merville, Parañaque. We continue our mission to make history accessible, inviting visitors to step into a museum where every piece is for sale.

Rudolf J. H. Lietz, F.R.G.S., is the founder of Gallery of Prints, a dedicated historian, collector, and editor. He has spent over three decades curating and preserving rare printed works on the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

In observance of the Philippine Centennial, he authored The Philippines in the 19th Century, a landmark coffee table book showcasing nearly 300 rare prints from the Gallery’s collection, organized into eight visual chapters including Voyages, Maps, Ornithology, and the Struggle for Independence.

In 2018, he served as curator and editor of Insulae Indiae Orientalis, the official publication of the 36th IMCoS Symposium in Manila, presented with the Ayala Museum. His ongoing work continues to shape the field of historical cartography and Filipiniana.
