With this map, one of the last for the time being dedicated to Italy, we return a little to the beginning by presenting the island of Sicily, of which we have already published a soil map from 1967.

This map required a longer intervention because it was split in half and ruined by time, being a document from 1943. We chose to leave behind the dusty look of an archive document and give it new life with a stronger colouring.

Echoes of Urban Dreams: Berlin and Rome in Architectural Narratives

In Marco Polo's vivid narrative, he wove tales of two cities, Berlin and Rome, each with its own architectural dreams and aspirations. Berlin, with its divided past symbolized by the Berlin Wall, grappled with the dichotomy between privacy and security. Meanwhile, Rome, immortalized by Giambattista Nolli's iconic map, embraced the concept of public space, declaring it to the inhabitants with each carefully drawn line.

As Marco Polo continued his exploration, he marvelled at the Nolli Map of Rome, the envy of all cities, with its meticulous delineation of public and private spaces. He pondered the significance of Nolli's reorientation of the city to the magnetic north, a symbolic gesture that mirrored Rome's embrace of transparency and openness.

In Berlin, the echoes of the past whispered through the cracks of the Berlin Wall, reminding its inhabitants of the struggles for freedom and unity. Yet amidst the division, there lingered a yearning for connection, a desire to bridge the gaps and forge new paths towards unity.

Through Marco Polo's eyes, the cities of Berlin and Rome became intertwined in a quest for architectural enlightenment. Berlin sought to learn from Rome's embrace of public space, while Rome looked to Berlin's resilience in the face of adversity. Together, they embarked on a journey of exploration and discovery, each seeking to fulfil their architectural dreams amidst the tapestry of history and urban fabric.

Bonus map: Pomerania in antiquity.

Showing tribes & tribal confederations according to Tacitus, Ptolemy & Pliny the Elder by mapping their stated geographical identifiers such as "between the rivers of..." or "on the coast of...".

Just cause I felt like doing a quick one without modern, academic citations (beyond citing 3 primary authors). Keep in mind this is my own interpretation based on the reading, you will absolutely find maps online that show these lines differently, contradicting me & each other. It's in the nature of the vagueness of these authors.

This took 4 days to make so I hope at least somebody will like it: Pomerania in 4 Historical Timestamps. I usually wrote all the info into tweets but here everything is given on the images themselves... Image 1 is all 4 separately, image 2 is a superposition of those 4 maps together. Afterwards I will put all 4 maps as individual images. With this upload I also want to make clear that I'll probably redo my older maps to meet the standard set here, so expect me to delete old stuff & repost overhauled versions...

NEW MAP: Europe 1813: Armistice of Pläswitz (4 June 1813) https://buff.ly/3y5l1hm In the spring of 1813 Napoleon counterattacked the advancing Russo-Prussian forces in Saxony, defeating them at Lützen and Bautzen before advancing into Silesia. However, French losses in this campaign were almost as great as those of the Allies, and in early June Napoleon and his opponents agreed to an armistice at Pläswitz. #1810s #1813 #19thcentury #arthistory #austria #axisallies #cartographic #europe #europeanhistory #france #geopolitics #historian #historical #historicalatlas #historicalmap #historisch #history #historylesson #historylovers #june #june4 #maps #napoleon #napoleonicwars #frenchhistory #oldmaps #prussia #russia #saxony #newmap (at Bautzen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQsnjSlAVzY/?utm_medium=tumblr
