This is part of the Kit Kapp Collection. We have recently purchased several thousand maps, historical documents and pictures from the family of Kit Kapp. He was a very famous map collector, author, and cartographer. Many of these maps were priced by him prior to 2009. These are priced for what they are a priceless antique collectible. This photograph has sold for 5 online and we are selling it for less due to minor imperfections. In most cases we will start the price at or lower than his prices with a buy it now option. All these maps will be for sale within the next few months.
We guarantee their authenticity from the Kapp collection. A few have his initials KK or KSK on them.
Many of the maps have the research that Kapp did including where the maps came from, who the cartographer was, the Library of Congress Number, and other information highlighted on the back. Kit has done the work for you. We are not experts on maps, that's why they were purchased from an expert. We do our best with pictures to show you the condition of each one. Again please review the pictures provided before purchasing.
