PBA Galleries Auction
Upcoming on March 23 at PBA Galleries is their Americana auction, including travel, exploration, maps and atlases. Atlases, and books with maps, include works by Barthelemy, Colton, Dury, Mitchell, Johnson, and others. Also on offer is Bancroft's scarce plan of the City of San Francisco (1882). A selection of individual maps also appear in the sale, including Matthew Cary's 1811 map of Louisiana; a few 18th and 19th century atlas maps of North America; world maps by Danckerts and De Fer; a nice western hemisphere by De Laet; De L'Isle's 1730 North America, and works by Hondius, Jansson, and more. Altogether an excellent auction for the collector of American cartography.
