Acquisitions Maps

View our latest selection of newly acquired rare maps, featuring original historic cartography freshly added to the Antique Print Map Room collection. This rotating showcase highlights rare world maps, regional charts, city plans, and exploration maps dating from the 15th to 20th centuries.

Our newly acquired antique maps category is updated regularly to present the most recent additions to our collection of original historical cartography. These maps span the 16th through 20th centuries and include continent maps, country charts, hydrographic surveys, and detailed town plans — each reflecting the geographic knowledge of its era

New acquisitions regularly feature work by influential cartographers such as Gerardus Mercator, Abraham Ortelius, Willem and Joan Blaeu, Guillaume Delisle, J. B. B. d’Anville, John Speed, Thomas Jefferys, Aaron Arrowsmith, and John Arrowsmith. Many maps incorporate information drawn from the great age of exploration, including voyages by James Cook, Abel Tasman, Ferdinand Magellan, and Sir Francis Drake, whose expeditions transformed global mapping.

Because these items are added as they are sourced, availability is scarce and turnover is high. Collectors are encouraged to revisit this category frequently to discover rare maps before they are acquired by other buyers. Whether sought for historical research, interior display, or collection building, these newly acquired antique maps represent the most current opportunities in original cartography.
