Cosmographia Fetches More Than £2.1 Million

Wow. The 1477 Cosmographia, which was expected to fetch £1-1½ million at auction yesterday, instead sold for £2.136 million to an unnamed collector (AP, Reuters). That’s more than any other antique map or atlas has ever gone for at an auction. Via Map the Universe.

Update, Oct. 21: More on the auction from Map the Universe.
