In the beginning, there was nothing. And after that, still nothing. But then came the light, and soon a world followed, one that naturally needed to be explored and documented. This became the task of cartographers. Armed with measuring instruments, pens, inkwells, paper, and papyrus, as well as a meticulous attention to detail and no small degree of artistry, they set out to chart the geography and topography of the Earth.
Now, the fruits of their labor are on display as Stockholms Auktionsverk Magasin 5 presents Maps & Views. With over 100 lots, the collection offers cartographic works from many centuries, including hand-colored sheets, views, and engravings of significant places and landmarks. Among the curiosities is a century-old globe, alongside essential collectibles like graphic cradles. Join Stockholms Auktionsverk Magasin 5 in discovering the world as humanity has sought to describe it over the centuries!
