Geographicus Rare & Antique Maps was founded by Kevin James Brown in 1999. We are generalist antiquarians dealing in historic maps from all over the world and in all price ranges. Our enthusiasm, passion and devotion to scholarship is expressed in our meticulously researched descriptions, among the most detailed and comprehensive available anywhere, for each and every rare map that passes over our desk.

This same devotion guides the relationships of honesty and trust we have fostered with our clients, whether through purchasing or selling a rare map, getting an appraisal, or simply calling to discuss antique maps in general. We are happy to assist you no matter whether you are an interior decorator, an institution, an experienced collector, or are just looking for a single antique map.

Geographicus is a member of the Philip Lee Phillips Society, the New York Map Society, the Washington Map Society, the International Map Collectors Society and the Society for the History of Discoveries. While primarily an internet-based company, we are happy to meet with clients to show our antique maps by appointment at our New York City location.

Geographicus reaches out to historians, map specialists, and collectors with the Geographicus Antique Map Archive at www.geographicus-archive.com. This informational site, geared toward map researchers and scholars, archives many of our previously sold rare maps as well as much of our current inventory.

We are always happy to meet with our clients personally at our New York City location by appointment. Please contact us at our customer service number to arrange an appointment.

You can also meet with us personally at the following events:

January 29-31, 2010 - Seventeenth Annual Miami International Map Fair - hosted by the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, this is one of the world's largest and best organized antique and rare fairs.
