Newport, RI and Waitsfield, VT, Mar 12, 2020 -- Discovery Map International, the leading provider of curated guides to top tourist attractions, cities and towns throughout North America, recently announced Susan Hans as the new owner of Discovery Map of Newport. Hans acquired the map in January 2020 from Paul Sauve.

Discovery Map of Newport is the fourth map owned by Hans. She also owns and operates Discovery Map of Mad River Valley, Discovery Map of Waterbury, Vermont and Discovery Map of Stowe, Vermont.

“Our family has owned a home and vacationed in Newport for years. When the map became available, we leapt at the chance to take over the reins,” said Hans. “The best part of buying the map was the timing, just in time to celebrate its 25th anniversary.”

A mother of two, Hans started her Discovery Map career a few years after re-entering the job market. Desiring a more flexible schedule to fit in with her daughters’ school schedule, she jumped at the opportunity to purchase the Discovery Map of Mad River Valley map.

“I was new to sales but since we lived in Waitsfield, the home of the Mad River map, I knew a lot of the stores and some of the store owners. The social part of just getting out and meeting/visiting our advertisers really appealed to me. It’s something that’s carried over to the other two maps and am looking to do the same with Discovery Map of Newport,” said Hans.

Discovery Maps are colorful, hand-drawn maps that have become a favorite of travelers for navigating local dining, attractions, businesses, cultural experiences and tourist destinations. Discovery Map of Newport includes sites and destinations within the city and neighboring communities. That includes the cliff walk and the mansions of Newport, the Tennis Hall of Fame, First Beach, Fort Adams State Park and more.

“A lot has changed over the past 25 years. Back in 1995, most people weren’t even on the Internet,” said Hans. “Our maps have changed somewhat but remain true to the original vision. With the added online presence, Discovery Map of Newport is primed for another 25 years.”

Discovery Maps are typically found on display in local stores, restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions. In addition, DiscoveryMap.com offers curated content to complement/supplement the printed map. The interactive map found the website is to scale, thus can be used for turn-by-turn directions, as well as to access detailed information about areas of interest, places to eat, lodging and other noteworthy sites.

“As much as we rely on our smartphones, people still prefer printed-out maps,” said Hans, who resides in Waitsfield VT with her husband Peter and their two daughters. “Although Discovery Map has a great website and online presence, the maps are truly like works of art and reveal the character of an area... and there is a lot of that in Newport.”

For local businesses interested in placing an ad in the upcoming Discovery Map of Newport, to be published and distributed in June 2020, ad space is still available. Interested merchants can call (802) 917-1228 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The auction, with a 10 am Eastern start time, online and in Lynbrook, N.Y., is packed with more than 500 lots of comics, comic art, sports memorabilia, animation art and Disney collectibles.

Lynbrook, NY, USA, March 12, 2020 -- Rare early stories by the renowned American fantasy and science fiction artist Frank Frazetta (1928-2010), done when he was a boy in his mid-teens and quite possibly the earliest Frazetta comic art in existence, will be centerpiece lots in Weiss Auctions’ next big sale planned for Thursday, March 26th, online and in the Lynbrook gallery at 74 Merrick Road.

The auction, with a 10 am Eastern start time, is packed with more than 500 lots of comics, comic art, sports memorabilia, animation art and Disney collectibles. Highlights include another great group of artwork from the estate of the Polish-born American comic book artist Joe Kubert (1926-2012), Part 1 of “The Golden Age Comic Art Find” from the Bailey Publishing archive.

The Bailey Publishing archive includes hundreds of pages of original Golden Age comic art, covers, stories and more, but it’s also where Frank Frazetta comes into the picture. Frazetta wrote his very first story as a teenage boy, titled Adventures of the Snowman, published by Bailey in the 1940s. And, while that story is not part of the auction, other related stories and artworks are.

Up for bid will be a complete ten-page, unpublished story by Frazetta titled Snowman that’s expected to bring $30,000-$50,000, not unreasonable considering many of his comic pages sell for $15,000-$30,000. And because Frazetta was so young, still a teen, this story is a true slice of comic book history. Also offered will be an unfinished pencil and ink story by Frazetta, six pages, titled Buckeye, signed on the title page by Frazetta – classic Golden Age story roughs.

Also from the Bailey Publishing archive will be other works by 1940s-era artists and original covers from some of the books from that period. Bailey Publishing only operated in the 1940s.

Artworks certain to attract attention include an original color illustration by Jean Henri Gaston Giraud (French, 1838-2012), who worked under the pseudonym Moebius; an original Sunday Peanuts comic art page by Charles Schulz, dated 5/17/1970; a 1937 Disney color production cel from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, titled Dopey with Animals; and original Golden Age comic cover art for Tom Thumb by Frank Little, who once worked as an animator for Dr. Seuss.

Original comic cover art by Joe Kubert will include Our Army at War, featuring Sgt. Rock #245 and #290; Star Spangled War #180; Weird War Tales #7; Kamandi #37; and Weird Western Tales #12. Several full-color Buster Brown Sunday comic pages by Richard Outcault (1863-1928) from the early 20th century, with beautifully hand-colored panels, will also be offered.

John Giunta (1920-1970) was an illustrator of comic books from the 1940s thru the 1960s. He worked on horror titles like Tomb of Terror, Chamber of Chills, Journey into Mystery and Weird Tales. Giunta will appear multiple times in the auction, with an 8-page comic book story titled Funnyman; original cover art for Cisco Kid #1; and original cover art for Tally-Ho Comics #1.

Comic books are plentiful and will include The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (CBCS 4.0), #9 (CBCS 9.0), #12 (CBCS 9.0), #16 (CBCS 8.0), #18 (CBCS 9.2), #19 (CBCS 9.0) and #20 (CBCS 9.0); Avengers #1 (CBCS 3.5), #4 (CBCS 8.5), #5 (CBCS 9.0), #7 (CBCS 9.0), #8 (CBCS 9.0), #10 (CBCS 9.2), #13 (CBCS 9.4), #15 (CBCS 9.0) and #16 (CBCS 9.0); X-Men #1 (CBCS 4.5) and #2 (CBCS 8.5); Daredevil #1 (CBCS 7.0) and #2 (CBCS 7.5) and an attic find of Marvel rarities.

The sports collectibles category is compelling, with items such as a 1934 Tour of Japan page signed by 16 team players, including Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig; a Roger Maris single-signed baseball; a three-sheet poster and lobby card set for the 1962 movie Safe at Home with Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris; and Hall of Fame plaques signed by Napoleon Lajoie and Hugh Duffy.

Internet bidding will be facilitated by Proxibid.com, Invaluable.com and Auctionzip.com. Phone and absentee bids will also be accepted.

The sale will feature ceramics, glass and art glass, silver, Asian works of art, jewelry, carpets. Online bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and Bidsquare.com.

Cleveland, OH, USA, March 12, 2020 -- Fresh off a highly successful fine arts sale in February that saw auction records fall for several prominent artists, Neue Auctions will bounce into spring on Saturday, March 21st, with an online-only Decorative Arts & Antiques auction that will feature ceramics, glass and art glass, silver, Asian works of art, jewelry and carpets, beginning at 10 am Eastern.

Nearly 300 lots will come up for bid, mostly sourced from midwestern and Cleveland estates and collections. “With most lots in the auction being sold without reserve, this sale will be a great way to spend a day at home bidding online,” said Cynthia Maciejewski of Neue Auctions. “We have something for just about everyone, from fine decorative antiques to mid-century modern.”

An early lot expected to generate bidder interest is lot 9, an Art Deco bronze and onyx sculpture by Marcel Andre Bouraine (French, 1886-1948), titled The Juggler (1925). The sculpture depicts a young woman juggling as she balances on an onyx sphere. Pulled from a local collection and 21 inches in height, The Juggler has an estimate of $2,000-$4,000 and an opening bid of $1,000.

The sale features around 40 lots of silver items from the estate of a local woman who for years purchased and collected fine British silver. An example is lot 39, a Japanese silver and enamel cigarette case from circa 1900, colorfully enameled with chrysanthemums, iris and other flowers on a bed of silver repousse leaves. The monogrammed, unsigned case should bring $600-$900.

From the same collection is a wonderful pair of Japanese glazed ceramic foo dogs from around the early 19th century. The 13-inch-tall dogs are finely molded and show fierce expressions, with their mouths open, showing teeth and tongue. Presented in a creamy off-white glaze, the pair have long curly manes and tails and well-articulated paws. The lot should garner $1,200-$2,500.

Also from a local collector comes lot 18, a Georg Jensen sterling silver five-piece coffee service in the Blossom pattern, weighing 2,171 grams (or 69.79 oz. troy). The set comprises a coffee pot, teapot, covered sugar, creamer and hot milk jug, all stamped “Georg Jensen Sterling Denmark”. Market conditions are right to pick this set up at a nice price. It’s estimated at $4,000-$6,000.

Interesting items from a downsizing gentleman designer with a discerning eye include lot 61, a 19th century Italian carved wood figure of a winged putto, 17 inches long (est. $200-$400); and lot 62, a group of Grand Tour plaster intaglios, consisting of two antique wood trays fitted with numbered intaglios, plus framed groupings of three and (later) six intaglios (est. $500-$800).

From the same collection is lot 96, a wonderful hand-carved figure of a carousel rabbit rocker by Joe Leonard of Pennsylvania, 44 ½ inches tall by 49 inches in length (est. $1,000-$2,000). The natural walnut figure is beautifully carved, and a nice alternative to the more oft-seen painted carousel figures. This mid-20th century rocker should appeal to animal and carousel lovers alike.

Already generating much pre-auction buzz is lot 80, an Ansonia rococo style gilt bronze mantel clock with a beveled glass case and cast bronze female masks (est. $600-$1,000). The early 20th century apex regulator was beautifully made with the fancy mantel in mind. Features include a circular enamel dial with Roman numerals, two winding keys and original finish. And it runs!

Lot 130, a large group of tres chic Black Basalt ware fashioned in the mid-century modern style, carries a pre-sale estimate of $250-$450. Included are 12 dinner plates, 12 salad plates, a coffee pot, teapot, hot milk jug, covered sugar, two creamers, 12 teacups and saucers and a dozen Demitasse cups and saucers. That’s a whole lot of Black Basalt ware for not a whole lot of green.

Other noteworthy lots include Tiffany & Company silver and jewelry, Russian boxes in silver and lacquer, an 18-inch terrestrial table globe from circa 1920-1925, a Lyon and Healy harp, Paul Milet Sevres pottery vases, Steuben, Lalique, Dominic Labino, Norman Stuart Clarke, Murano, Baccarat, and designer goods by Louis Vuitton, Pucci, Fendi, Burberry and Hermes.

Internet bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and Bidsquare.com. Phone and absentee bids will also be accepted. Gallery previews will be held daily, Monday thru Friday, from 10 am to 5 pm Eastern time, in the Ohio Design Centre located at 23533 Mercantile Road #119 in Beechwood, Ohio, just outside of Cleveland. Preview appointments are available.
