Paris Map Fair 2016

Map fairs in London have a continuous history stretching back thirty years, and we’re proud of staging the largest specialist map fair in Europe today. Leading British mapsellers exhibit alongside dealers from the USA, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Greece, a suitably international atmosphere for a map fair which has become one of the most important annual events for dealers, curators and collectors from around the world. It also provides the perfect opportunity for novice collectors to examine original maps at first hand and talk to some of the acknowledged experts in the field. There is always a huge range of material on offer, in terms of price as well as subject matter, from a few Pounds to many thousands. Since 2008 the London Map Fair has been held at the Royal Geographical Society in South Kensington. The historic venue is ideal, a natural home for an event devoted to cartography, although visitors with long memories will recall how the fair has evolved over time.
