About Daniel Crouch Rare Books
Daniel Crouch Rare Books is a specialist dealer in rare maps, atlases, plans, sea charts and antiquarian books relating to voyages dating from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Our carefully selected stock also includes a number of fine prints, globes, planetaria, scientific instruments and a selection of cartographic reference books.
Our particular passions include rare atlases, town plans, wall maps, and separately published maps and charts. We strive to acquire unusual and quirky maps that are in fine condition.
Daniel Crouch Rare Books Ltd is a UK Limited Liability Company established in June 2008. In 2011 we opened a gallery in St James’s, London, and in 2016 we established the New York office.
We are members of the following trade associations: The Antiquarian Bookseller’s Association (ABA); The British Antique Dealers’ Association (BADA); Confédération Internationale des Négociants en Oeuvres d’Art (CINOA); The International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB); The Society of London Art Dealers (SLAD); and The European Fine Art Foundation (TEFAF).
Daniel is currently Treasurer of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association, a trustee of both its Benevolent Fund and Educational Trust, and chair of its Export Committee. Daniel also serves as Treasurer of Imago Mundi, The International Journal for the History of Cartography, and as an Expert Advisor to the Department of Culture, Media & Sport’s Reviewing Committee for the Export of Works of Art.
Daniel and Nick are also both members of The Company of Art Scholars, Dealers, and Collectors. Daniel is a member of the Grolier Club, and the Association internationale de bibliophilie.
