August 13, 2008: Kenneth Holsey: Curator of Maps, Prints, and Rare Books
"Among the rarities for sale at the gallery is an Ortellius world atlas from the 1630s — hand-colored, still in its original binding and worth about $250,000. An original print of a turkey from artist John James Audubon's Elephant Portfolio is priced at $165,000. Smaller, less-rare books and maps start at $35."
