And, as for ‘valuation’, how did the condition of that particular exemplar compare with all the others known to the ‘expert’?:)

The valuation, however accurate of a market appraisal, sounds rather like an open invitation for thieves.  Or for vandals to remove a map from its published context.

I was watching an episode of the Antiques Roadshow from 2014 (Baton Rouge).

The show featured a General Land Office 1852 map of Texas (2nd edition) that apparently is supposed to be rare.

The map was was valued at $ 22,000 - $ 25,000.

You may want to check your collection.

I love to see government documents on the Roadshow.
