We began selling antique prints in Norwich Norfolk, on the east coast of the UK on September 15th 1985. We traveled all over the UK every weekend exhibiting at popular antique shows before securing a contact to work on American military installations in Belgium, Germany and Italy. After 4 years traveling all over Europe the logical progression was to establish a presence in the United States. We moved to the United States in 1997 and traded as:
The Way We Were
Queenstown, Maryland
(we are acknowledged at the bottom of page 9 of “In Vanity Fair” by Roy T. Matthews, Peter Mellini 2nd edition 1999)
Our name was change to The Vanity Fair Print Company in 1999 but we had to change it to The Original Vanity Fair Print Company in 2008 as our name was used without consent by a company in Hastings UK that was trying to benefit from our success. In July 2011 we redesigned the business model of our company and returned to our original name of
The Vanity Fair Print Company.
