One of three engraved maps by Gerald Valck found beneath the chimney of Drumnahoy House
One of three surviving maps by Gerald Valck, from the Boston Public Library collection.
You may remember the final episode of the three-part Only Fools and Horses 1996 Christmas Special entitled Time on our Hands. After several episodes of Del and Rodney saying “this time next year, we’ll be millionaires”, the brothers find they’ve been holding onto a fortune for fifteen years. That of a rare J. Harrison pocket watch. A real life equivalent of this was found early this week: one of three engraved maps by Gerald Valck.
