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
maps of London from the 18th century to the 1940s.
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 and Gloucestershire; maps of London from the late 18th century to the
early 20th; 19th century marine charts covering the waters around Britain; Boundary Commission maps of England and Wales from the 1880s; 19th century maps of Russia; maps of Turkey and the Ottoman empire; maps of France;
19th century railway maps, 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.
