Antique Maps & Prints, Week of April 24, 2006
As one J. Boden kindly pointed out, in his/her comment on this post (below) it is not so quiet this week at the auctions. There is an auction, including antique maps, atlases, and decorative prints, at Reiss & Sohn in Germany. However, many of the items featured in the auction (though not all) are described only in German. The entire decorative prints section was in German, for example. So, like many non-English auctions which I'm sure are going on all the time, it's not one that we'd be able to review.
Quiet Week At The Auctions
Very little activity at auction for the week of April 24, with no major auctions to preview. The month of May looks like there will be some interesting sales, so stay in touch. (Better yet, why not subscribe to the blog, by adding it your "My Yahoo" account? See the buttons on the right of this page).

I agree that unless one is multi-multi-lingual these non-english auctions are a bit of a pain. I have found, however, that the stafff are Reiss & Sohn and at The Romantic Agony auction houses are more than happy to supply translations if requested. I dare say that the more people start asking for translations the sooner these auction houses will supply multi-lingual catalogues of all their offerings and not just those that they think 'are of interest' to the Anglo-Saxons.
