The first thing to be said is that this is NOT a scientific rating based on statistics.
My husband spent some 30 years in the Trade and this is just a personal 'assessment' based partly on his experience combined with, to some extent, current internet offers & any other relevant factors we are aware of.
The family still has several containers full of antique maps & prints that were acquired over the years, so occasionally I am able to offer more than one of a particular item, from the large inventory that still remains to be listed.

Prints are the means by which an artist can offer his work to as wide an audience as possible. The quantities produced 100 years or more ago were but a fraction of those published today. I am sometimes asked how many of a particular print may still exist - an impossible question ! There is no way to know how many were published originally nor how many may have been lost or damaged over the years.

So many comparatively common antique books, maps or prints are described as 'rare', that I have attempted to provide some reasonable perspective on the use of this and similar words.
Also,
I have noted another dealer offering prints/maps on eBay and elsewhere, who says in many of his offers - I quote: 'NOTE there are only one of each as they are the original page/s from our copy and not reprints or modern copies.' I can but assume they mean that they only have 1 of the prints/maps concerned. It would, of course, be quite wrong to assume, particularly from the use of the word 'there', that their offer was a unique one-off item.
If you are in any doubt, always write to the dealer for clarification.

There does sometimes seem to be confusion over the use of the word ORIGINAL.
In my offers this should always be taken to mean simply that it was printed at the date stated.
I NEVER offer modern day reproductions.

The rating given to any particular item should be regarded as purely my personal view, not as factual.
Others might disagree !

THE SCARCITY RATING IS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF TIMES IN ANY ONE YEAR
THAT YOU MIGHT REASONABLY EXPECT TO FIND THE ITEM.

0 RESERVED FOR ART DRAWN OR PAINTED BY THE ARTIST. UNLIKELY TO BE ANY OTHER EXAMPLES
1 LIKELY TO BE FOUND MAYBE ONCE A YEAR. RARE
2 MIGHT BE FOUND TWICE IN A YEAR. FAIRLY RARE
3 COULD BE FOUND UP TO 3 TIMES. FAIRLY RARE
4 MAYBE 4 TIMES IN ANY ONE YEAR. SCARCE
5 PERHAPS 5 TIMES A YEAR. FAIRLY SCARCE
6 AROUND 6 TIMES A YEAR. FAIRLY SCARCE
7 AT THIS LEVEL THE ITEM IS NOT COMMON
8 COULD BE FOUND WITH SOME RESEARCH. NOT COMMON
9 CAN BE HARD TO FIND. NOT EASILY FOUND
10 LIKELY TO BE OFFERED 10 TIMES OR MORE. FINDABLE
