Richard and Penelope Betz welcome you to Hemispheres Antique Maps & Prints, specializing in fine original antique maps from the 16^th through 19^th centuries.  Our inventory is strongest in antiquarian maps of Africa though we have fine antique maps of the world & other regions as well.

(Website Updated April 2013):   We have added some maps and a number of antique books with antique maps by Pontanus, Linschoten, Ludolf, Cluver, rare Henry Overton wall map, etc.  Also nearly 100 important reference books on antique maps and cartography, a number of which are classic scarce books (Ortelius facsimile atlas, other Theatrum facsimile atlases, Laor, Sabin, Tooley, Shirley, Tibbetts, etc.).  These can be found under "Books" on our "Index to All Maps & Books" webpage, or by clicking on the following link for "Books & Atlases".
