First I wish everyone a ‘Happy Christmas’ and a great 2025.
Below are maps I have recently added and a few others that are not only good Christmas presents but give one some idea of current stock.
Please look at my website as there are thousands of maps to be discovered starting from £50 or please contact me for any advice on old maps.
As many buyers and collectors want the earliest maps available, here is an article from Old World Auctions deatailing Sixteenth century map map makers.
As they are they most desirable there are occasionally forgeries. A very good, if a little technical, article on spotting fakes can be found by clicking here. But the best way to avoid fakes or forgeries is to buy from a recognized map dealer.
I hope you find the following maps interesting.
