Collecting maps and atlases need not be the expensive hobby orpastime of the wealthy. It is still possible to find real bargains in
a world where prices of decorative maps and old atlases seem to
be out of reach of the ordinary buyer. I prefer to buy and sell maps
and atlases from the late 18th century to the early 20th century:
they serve as a unique record of a changing world, testimony to
conflicts, change, exploration and innovation.
I stock maps on a range of subjects and of a variety of places.
These include military maps, railway maps, Ordnance Survey
maps, British town plans, maps in slipcases and in boards and
pre-1914 maps of London.
I also have a number of nineteenth century atlases, plus guides
and geographies including some from the eighteenth century.
Current stock includes large-scale Ordnance Survey maps of
Cornwall; maps of London from the late 18th century into the
early 20th; Boundary Commission maps of England and Wales
from the 1880s; maps of India and maps from both world wars.
For latest lists of maps on a range of topics please contact me via
the links on my home page. I will try to respond to any individual
requests for help in searching for maps.
