Knapp and Co — the beloved 19th-century New York lithography house that brought Victorian charm into every American home. Founded in the 1850s when Joseph Fairchild Knapp joined the printing firm of Sarony & Major, the company evolved through Major & Knapp and the Knapp Company before becoming the iconic Knapp & Co. by the late 1890s. Their exquisite chromolithographs captured the innocence of childhood — rosy-cheeked girls in winter bonnets, barefoot boys with their pets, children riding donkeys and playing with rabbits — with a warmth and tenderness that still melts hearts today. These are the vintage lithographs that defined an era of American illustration, and now they’re yours to print, frame, and treasure.
