He is a map collector.
So I... we inherited his collection of maps.
He's just been traveling around the world, um, as part of his job.
He lived in Belgium and all across the United States.
So he's just been collecting maps that way.
APPRAISER: Interesting you mentioned Belgium because the mapmaker is Theodor de Bry, who was actually born in Belgium.
GUEST: Oh.
APPRAISER: He's referred to as Flemish, but he was born in the town of Liège, which is now Belgium.
It's a hand-colored engraving printed in Frankfurt 1590.
It's the lower Chesapeake, Virginia and some of what is now North Carolina.
It's the first map to show the Chesapeake Village, which is what the Chesapeake Bay is named for.
North is here.
It's based on a manuscript map by John White.
This map features the Roanoke island, which is the first settlement in this area.
It was published in an atlas.
These atlases were made for wealthy people, uh, to a degree, explorers and, uh, people who were going to colonize the East Coast.
It's hand-colored at the time.
Sometimes these maps are colored later.
The maps of this area were based on this map for like the next hundred years.
GUEST: Wow.
(laughs) APPRAISER: So, so it's-it's a sort of a, sort of a key map.
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: It's the kind of map that someone who collects East Coast or maps of this area.
This is the-the crowning jewel for the collection kind of thing.
GUEST: Wow, okay.
APPRAISER: Do you want to guess a value or...?
GUEST: $4,000?
APPRAISER: I found multiple dealer prices and the range would be somewhere between $15,000 and-and $20,000.
GUEST: Well, my grandfather knew what he was doing.
(laughs) APPRAISER: Indeed he did.
GUEST: Wow.
Yeah.
I just wish he was here to see it today.
APPRAISER: For insurance purposes, I would probably insure it for $25,000.
