The art prints of Boston have been popular and religiously collected for decades due to their unique beauty and great value. Many of Boston's art collections reside at Boston's first museum of fine arts, which is the Athenaeum.
Aside from fine arts such as American landscape paintings, the Boston Athenaeum's collections include Confederate States imprints, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century tracts, early newspapers and documents, nineteenth-century prints and photographs, gypsy literature, eighteenth-century rarities such as the King's Chapel collection and other fine masterpieces dating back to the period when Boston was still the main city of New England.
