The appointed US distributor for Wychwood Editions (who produce color
facsimiles of 'antique' maps only) last year was Interarts (Barbara
Petersen) or GeoSystems, possibly now MapQuest of Mountville PA; but I don't
personally know whether the Wychwood Editions stock is continued by the
latter.  Even worse (is this possible?) I seem to recollect, when talking
with Peter Whitfield (who is Wychwood Editions) last year, that the Genoese
1457 world map was o/p.   A call to Stanfords in London ought to confirm
this.  I am assuming that Ross T. and/or his patron have contact details
(e-mail, etc.) at hand; otherwise I would recommend a check of the IMTA
'Members Directory 1999-2000'.

Sincerely
Francis Herbert (Curator of Maps, RGS-IBG; IMTA Member)
