Anyone collect old maps?, by therivler1 on Nov 9, 2017 14:40:22 GMT 1, My father like old maps and has a few of them.
Over the years, we had talked about a more recent style of map from the 1500-1700s that depicted California as an island. It's been a running commentary on prevailing wisdom of the day etc...
Anyway......, he's turning 70, and I thought getting one of these would make a great present. I know they are not cheap. But other than that, I haven't the slightest idea about maps, other than doing a google search.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction!

Map dealers tend to mark up 2-3x on what you'll pay at auction. On the flipside, you know the quality will be good and you have recourse if not. It's buyers beware at auction.
Bonhams have a maps auction very soon with some lovely stuff, though mainly UK related

Anyone collect old maps?, by gd79 on Nov 16, 2017 17:05:15 GMT 1, Please don't!
I'll want one myself. So tempting. I always intended to have a 'map room' in my house, but was firmly put to veto by the wife. I have old maps (of the U.K. by John Speed), photo maps (Sohei Nishino), text maps (Stephen Walter). I'm a sucker for a map.

Anyone collect old maps?, by chevyav53 on Jun 10, 2019 5:29:17 GMT 1, Was wondering if any map threads. Got into in the past few months and bought my first two, waiting on them. Found out my framer is also really into maps so heโs been helpful.

Got it based on all the hype thinking it was going to be something special. Laughed when I got it and sold it right away as it reminded me of the free maps at airports and hotels. |
