This Week In Antique Maps & Prints

Auction Preview Week of Feb. 6, 2006

Very little auction action this week, probably due in part to the fact that almost everyone in the antique map business is in Miami for the map fair. (See below). Keep an eye on the blog for the week of February 13, when we will be previewing antique map and print auctions including the always fabulous, annual auction from Dorothy Sloan Books, and a Travel and Natural History auction from Bloomsbury Auctions.


Thirteenth Annual Map Fair Underway

Every winter brings the marvelous International Map Fair, now in its 13th year, hosted by the Historical Museum Of Southern Florida. I was able to attend back in 1998, and the event has grown in stature and attendance ever since. It's a great event for antique map lovers, with lectures, programs, "expert opinions," and offerings for sale from several dozen antique maps and prints dealers.
