William R. Talbot Fine Art strives to provide the collector with antique maps, original prints, and rare books of the finest condition. Since 1986, our gallery has focused on the elastic theme of “the West” — with particular emphasis on nineteenth-century Americana. Dedication and a profound love of our material foster our peerless service and ensure the bona fide excellence of our product.  William R. Talbot has owned and operated his Santa Fe gallery since 1986. His formal education includes a degree in cartography from the Swiss School for Photogrammetric Operators, and he worked as a cartographer for several years before entering the art world in 1979 through a rising passion for collectible maps. Before settling in Santa Fe, Bill helped develop historical map and print departments for galleries in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas. In 1990, on behalf of a client, Bill purchased a complete folio edition of John James Audubon’s The Birds of America. He continues to build private, museum, and library collections.
