From the Vancouver Sun - Friday, 14 Nov 2008:
"A rare print of a 396-year-old map of Canada created by French explorer Samuel de Champlain has sold at an auction in Britain for nearly $250,000 - triple the expected price."

Excellent map! I especially like the depiction of native plants, animals, and peoples...the scale bar kicks butt too.

Its good to see that there are people with means that appreciate the history and art of cartography...paper maps forever!!
