Bell autograph under the hammer

bellsig.jpgPlumbly's of Dunedin has a Rare Book Auction scheduled for late April 2004. Highlights include an Alexander Graham Bell autograph and a three-volume set of Sir Walter Scott’s Antiquary, published in 1816.

Of interest to local cartographers will be several hydrographic charts dating back to 1873, focusing on Rakiura, the Foveaux Strait, the West Coast and South Otago.

The full catalogue is not yet confirmed, but initial details (and some photographs) are here.
