Calling #mapstodon !!! Also #librarians and #archivists !!!
I used a lot of old maps in my work for York Library and Archive, which I'm proud to say are on permanent display.
But I'm running out of maps!
If anyone has any old sheet maps (see pic for examples) - not the folded retail sort - that need a new home, please could i have them?!?!
I would love to make you something from them in return, if you'd like.
Thank you!!!#maps #cartography #librariansofmastodon #oldMaps #archivistodon

So, hubby and I did splurge on each other for Solstice presents. He got a needlepoint "painting" he made for me of crows (based on a Japanese painting) framed. And while at the same shop today, I found an original map of the area we live in now from the 1870's -- that I'm having mounted in an archival frame for him. Giving #LocalBusiness our holiday shopping (the needlepoint supplies were also from a shop in #Maine). Pics will be posted soon...

This is the world map from the 1963 edition of the Encyclopedia Americana. This map is very interesting to me because there are two political entities whose lifespan ended in 1963 which could determine when this book was printed. The two political entities in this map are the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in Africa and West Irian in Asia.

Map of the Amazon River from 1707, naming the various peoples who live along it.
You can see in the source line that in those days, another name for the Amazon was "Marañon"--Cashew. The great Cashew River.
My proximate source for the image is a recorded class by the linguist Denis Bertet.

More archive work today, seeing the original documents & accompanying maps of the Treaty of Turin establishing part of what is now the 🇨🇭🇫🇷state border, formerly Geneva & Savoie/Sardinia. Just gorgeous to see it in person, and wander across the pages. Although these docs have been scanned, seeing them in person and gazing at them at an angle, allows you to see the amazing artistry (those little tree shadows!). #oldMaps #visualMethods #visualArchives #Geography #politicalGeography #borders

Not walking today, but exploring the state archives, and the Mappe Sarde dating back to when parts of what is now the Canton of Geneva where part of other kingdoms. Just beautiful to see the mini painted landscapes, in still-fresh watercolours, showing places we have walked. #geography #borders #visualMethods #maps #oldMaps

Continuing the Italy Retrofuture series...mixing up 66m of sea level rise with this 1842 map of Florence
This map may seem confusing ...because south is up, and north is down.

@Ustinoff Nein, nicht mit meiner Methode. Ich zuppele an den vier Ecken bis es so einigermaßen… Und dann hängt es am Carthographen und dem Maßstab, ob es passt.
