Welcome to the site of Canada’s premier dealer in fine prints
Jan Johnson, Old Master & Modern Prints, Inc., was begun in 1979 by owner and director Jan Johnson after six years in the print department of P & D Colnaghi, London, and three previous years of print research in European museum collections. Specialized originally in Old Master Prints, the company expanded into 19th and early 20th Century European and Canadian prints on transferring from London to Montreal, Canada, in 1982.
We offer a wide-ranging and well-researched stock with an emphasis on high quality impressions and excellent condition. While major names are usually represented, our taste also runs to the less obvious. Our stock’s diversity enables us to offer a wide price range and to encourage collectors at all levels. Since this website only exhibits a portion of our stock you are welcome to make your interests known and focused stock-lists can be sent. Email using the email link below, or join our mailing list by using the Contact Us link.
Other services include acting at auction for clients and performing appraisals. Visitors are welcome to view stock at our premises in the Montreal region by appointment.
We have participated in international print fairs for many years, and were a founding member of the International Fine Print Dealers’ Association. Our clients include many of the world’s great museums, both European and North American such as:
