Map History / History of Cartography
My name is Julie Bennett and I recently retired
to the Bahamas after a career in
education in England.
Jacques Bossuet (1627 - 1704),
the French Bishop & author, wrote that Geography is one of the
principal eyes of History. Such is the fascination of old,
historical maps & engravings, that before emigrating, it became my
hobby to offer
antiquarian
items on eBay & I have decided to resume, hoping to make yet more new
friends.
My offers include a range of collectables, from decorative fine art, topographical views,
pictures and lithographs to rare, scarce vintage ancient & classical county and
country
maps,
historic town and city plans,
books and atlases. I offer many examples of famous artists work and of the engravers art through the
centuries. You will also find cartography from leading mapmakers, geographical topography, memorabilia
& other geographic ephemera for collectors, interior designers & decorators,
genealogy researchers
as well as retail trade customers and frame shops.
