2010 Helen Wallis Award won by Jonathan Potter
This year's winner of the IMCoS-Helen Wallis award is the London map dealer, Jonathan Potter. The presentation was made at this year's annual dinner held on June 4th by the President Sarah Tyacke.
Tony Campbell, chairman of the award committee, read the citation describing Jonathan as "a good friend of IMCoS" and a dealer who had worked for 40 years with "undiminished enthusiasm demonstrating that mapselling can be about a lot more than just buying and selling maps."
