Deirdre Boys works as a paediatrician, specialising in neurodevelopment and the health of looked after children. Her interest in antique maps started towards the end of 2016 when she bought her first antique map. Her main focus is on miniature or small maps of the African continent and the areas around Kenya, Malawi and Zimbabwe produced prior to 1800. She does stray outside those boundaries at times. Why Africa? Her childhood was spent in Africa and she likes the fact that many of the maps were based on legends rather than fact. Most of her maps are completely useless when it comes to finding your way around!
