George Glazer's Manhattan gallery offers one of the best selections of antique prints, maps and globes to be found anywhere. Since opening in 1993, he's become a primary resource for collectors, particularly collectors of prints, and his fine and rare prints are priced accordingly. However, for those who love prints but need to be, well, frugal with their collecting, he offers an incredible selection of odd ball, "red tag" prints -- beautiful, original, and thoroughly researched items priced at or below $250. From maps and scientific studies to flora and fauna to costume and music - there's a subject for everyone.
