Ralph Salomon started WorldView Antique Maps & Books after a long career in
the adventure travel field. An amateur Africanist and historian, he views the
offering of maps for sale as a logical, though more sedentary, extension of
his world travels.
I welcome the opportunity to help established collectors add to their
collection. Even more, I get great satisfaction from helping new collectors
begin putting theirs together by helping them form a focus for their
collection and then building their holdings according to budget and interest.”
Maps can be enjoyed from a variety of perspectives: as historical or
scientific documents, as works of art or as remembrances of trips taken.
Jonathan Potter, in his fine guide to map collecting, Collecting Antique Maps,
lists nine major categories:
- By area
-
- By an individual map maker
- Of a particular period
- Showing particular geographical or decorative features
- By theme
- For their individual appearance
- For their individual importance
- For investment
- For any other reason the individual might find of interest
Whatever your reason for building a collection, buying a gift or purchasing
one special map, we stand ready to help.
