NEW YORK – Maps are beautiful, and their details make them so. Good maps make a landscape pleasing and intelligible; great ones turn information into art. Maps that are designed to be pictorial offer more opportunities for artistic beauty, as do maps of cities, because cities provide more data points to style and convey.
On August 17, starting at 8 pm Eastern time, Jasper52 will host a sale of Antiquarian Pictorial Maps & City Views. The 105-lot sale is curated by maps expert Steve Kovacs. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.
