Our rousing December 8 sale of Maps & Atlases, Natural History & Color Plate Books featured a special section relating to early East Indies trade. The top lot of the sale was a rare 1797 edition of Robert Laurie and James Whittle's The Complete East-India Pilot, or Oriental Navigator, purchased for $81,250. Lots relating to New York City also did well, with 21 of 22 selling: notably, the hand-colored aquatint Panoramic View of New York, by Robert Havell, Jr. went to a collector for $10,000.
The next auction of Maps & Atlases, Natural History & Color Plate Books will be on June 7, 2017.
Consignment Deadline: March 7, 2017.
