Collection Auctioned, Expected to Raise £5 Million
A 700-volume, 60,000-map collection of atlases dating back to the 15th century is being auctioned by its late owner, the BBC reports, and is expected to fetch a total of £5 million. The collection was saved from a fire last year, and is being sold to cover the cost of renovations.
