Antique Maps at National Geographic: London

The national Geographic Store, in association with leading specialist Jonathan Potter, presents an exhibition of original antique maps and high-quality reproductions. Maps produced from the 1500s onward combine artistic presentation, scientific techniques, the excitement of the unknown and the fascination of history. Many are remarkably decorative and some very rare. Jonathan Potter has been buying and selling original antique maps in London for over 40 years, has written and lectured on the subject and, this year, was honoured with the International Map Collectors Society's Helen Willis Award, a distinction rarely granted outside academic circles.
