Luke A Vavra was a map and book dealer using the trade name Cartographic Arts for about 25 years until illness forced him to give up the business a few years ago. He and his late wife Patricia had a web site and participated in Map Fairs and Book Fairs from Boston to Miami and west to Denver. In 2023 Luke re-established this business under the name Luke A Vavra Rare Maps and Books. The firm does not have a brick and mortar store but would welcome discussions via email.
We are actively seeking first edition German-language items by Theodore de Bry from his Grand Voyages series (which cover North, Central and South America). This includes maps and first edition title pages, dedications, text and plates.
