Antique Maps of many of the European Countries

Richard Nicholson has specialised in buying and selling antique maps and prints for more than sixty years. During this time he has helped collectors across the UK and internationally to build collections of historic maps showing everything from early world maps to detailed county and city plans. Collectors are often drawn to antique maps because each one tells a story. Maps show how geography was understood in different centuries, how borders changed over time and how early mapmakers illustrated their discoveries. Owning an original map is like holding a small piece of history. Richard also enjoys helping people start their own antique map collection and advising customers about maps they may already own. Whether you are a serious collector or simply looking for a decorative historical map, friendly advice is always available.

This section of my website features my stock of original antique maps of Europe and European Countries. There are two other sections that you may wish to visit.

The third section features original engraved antique maps of Africa, Asia, America and Australasia.
