In the course of this year’s fall auctions by Reiss & Sohn, Germany, which will take place from October 27th until 30th, the Königstein auctioneers will hold two special auction sales. The first sale is dedicated to rare books and maps relating to Brazil, whereas the other one, entitled ‘The World Encompassed up to 1600’, includes world maps in 15th and 16th century editions. Richly illustrated catalogues will be available for both sales.
