Boston Rare Maps specializes in rare and unusual antique and vintage maps depicting all periods of American history. We also offer American historical prints, city views and a growing selection of illustrated broadsides. We serve a wide variety of clients, including private collectors and institutional map collections, as well as those seeking just a few special pieces for themselves or as gifts to clients, friends or family. Boston Rare Maps was founded in 2002 by Michael Buehler, a long-time collector of rare maps and historical ephemera. He has developed a reputation for highly personalized client service and for offering rare and interesting material presented in a scholarly context. A specialist in the field, he is a regular public speaker and has published a number of articles in The Portolan, the journal of the Washington Map Society. He has been a guest curator of two map exhibitions at Harvard University, including most recently "Toward a National Cartography: American Mapmaking, 1782-1800," which appeared in early 2011.
