Changes to Antique Maps and Prints Blog
CHANGES TO THE BLOG: For several years, I have enjoyed bringing you information about upcoming meetings and exhibits relating to antique maps and prints. At this point, with increasing demands on my time, I have decided to leave the meeting and exhibit calendars to others, and to focus on the areas of auctions and antiquarian fairs, whose schedules are perhaps less conveniently aggregated on the internet.
Every other week I will continue to gather information about upcoming auctions related to antique maps and prints, and, hopefully, to spice up the blog posts with interesting reports of sold lots. I will include information about antiquarian book and map fairs as well. If you are involved in promoting either of these types of events, please feel free to contact me to get your auction or fair listed. I will endeavor to give more space to specific details about auctions and fairs.
Some of you may have noticed that VintageMaps.com has undergone a redesign recently. It is still very much a work-in-progress, but the new shopping cart is activated, and online ordering is available.
