COLLECTING ANTIQUE MAPS SEMINAR, Sunday May 4th, 1 - 4 pm.
Chicago's "Festival of Maps" has sparked interest in collecting antique maps. If you're intrigued but not sure how to get started, sign up for this introduction.
Learn about map history, how to research maps, how maps were made, how to detect fakes, and how the map market works. George and Mary have been dealers for 32 years and are long-time members of many map societies and trade associations including the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International Antiquarian Mapsellers Association. George co-founded the Chicago Map Society in 1976 and has taught many courses on antique maps including a week-long seminar at Indiana University's Lilly Library.
The course is free, but due to limited space reservations are required. Please call 847-328-1966 to reserve a place.
