# The Round O - Business Description
The Round O is a specialised fine art print publisher based in Arbroath, Scotland, dedicated to preserving and sharing the town's rich historical heritage through meticulously reproduced antique engravings. The business centres on the remarkable body of work created by 19th-century Arbroath artist John Adam, whose detailed drawings were professionally engraved by the renowned Parisian engraver Amand Durand in 1880. These original engravings depicted Arbroath and its surrounding Angus landscape, with particular emphasis on the iconic Arbroath Abbey.
The company serves a diverse clientele, including people of Scottish heritage seeking meaningful connections to their roots, tourists and visitors looking for authentic Scottish souvenirs, interior designers seeking period artwork, and history enthusiasts interested in Victorian-era Scottish scenes. What distinctly sets The Round O apart is their commitment to archival quality—the giclée prints are produced to museum standards, archivable for 75 years, ensuring longevity and investment value. Each print is supplied with a certificate of authenticity, elevating them beyond typical souvenir merchandise.
Rather than simply selling reproductions, The Round O functions as custodians of Arbroath's visual history, making historical artwork accessible to contemporary audiences whilst maintaining academic integrity through proper provenance documentation. The tagline "to all, far and near, who have associations with Arbroath" encapsulates their mission to serve both local communities and diaspora populations worldwide.
