Auction Details
Maps & Atlases
Our winter maps auction will offer a strong variety of material including collectible examples by stalwart publishers Ortelius, Blaeu, Hondius, Speed, and Munster. Plate books and graphics include works by Audubon, and a scarce volume of scenic lithographs of St. Petersburg, capital of Russia at the time.
Cartographic highlights are Egbert Viele?s Water Map of New York City from 1865, describing Manhattan?s long-vanished original streams and wetlands; and an important wall map of the United States from 1818 by John Melish ? the first accurately coalesced representation of the nation from coast to coast and a signifier to the potential for settlement in the western reaches of the continent.
