1) EUROPEAN RAILWAYS ABOUT 1875
This is a French detailed map of the European rail network published approximately in 1875. The borders of the European countries are shown as they were before the Congress of Berlin (June-July 1878) but some later railways are marked by simple black lines, like the Simplon tunnel (1906). This map was made by the geographers A.T. Chartier and Th. Gobert and engraved by E. Kollmann.
2) CZECHIA
The Czech Republic is a country of tales and legends. Everywhere, one can see Art Nouveau sculptures and decorated houses. In the Europe Photos section, you will discover some pictures of Czechia, most of them being related to history.
Remember that Borivoj the Ploughman was the first Duke of Bohemia and that the country was evangelized by Cyril and Methodius (9th cent.), the missionaries coming from Thessaloniki.

1) The Santini Map of Italy 1783
In the Cartography section, you will find an 18th century map of Italy with the main post-roads and the boundaries of the Italian states. This document was made by Father or Père Francois Santini, a French publisher active in Venice. All Santini maps were based on the best cartographers of the 18th century like de Vaugondy and Janvier. This print seems to be a copy of the Robert Janvier map of Italy from his Atlas Universel printed in 1776-1784.
2) Spain and Portugal
Charles-François Delamarche, 1740-1817, was one of the most important French geographers. In 1786, he bought the Didier Robert de Vaugondy map collection. He published several maps and atlases and his son Felix continued his work. The Delamarche Atlas de Géographie was reprinted several times in the 19th century and was even adopted by the Royal Council of Public Instruction.Here is a map of Spain and Portugal as they were in the 19th century, from one of the Delamarche Atlas editions.
