About Simon Hunter Antique Maps


I have been involved in the world of antiques for longer than I care to remember but I first began to specialise in antique maps at the end of the 1980s. Simon Hunter Antique Maps was launched in January 1989 from an antiques gallery in Meeting House Lane in Brighton. When the freehold of the building was sold in 1998 I started working from home, concentrating on antique map fairs in London and on issuing printed catalogues.

The advent of the internet soon led to the setting up of a website. This was originally managed by John Vince who sadly died in July 2006. The website has now been completely redesigned by Tony Nicholls  who can claim all credit for its greatly improved appearance. All errors and omissions in the content of the site are, however, my own responsibility
