Watch our conservators and installers take this map from six loose broadsheets to one stunning framed piece for our exhibit Religious Change and Print, 1450-1700. The map illustrates, in incredible detail, the siege of La Rochelle, a battle between French Protestants and Louis XIII's royal forces in 1627--and it's now on view through December 27.

Roman Emperors My first post - this is a collage I made of modern day countries (relative to each other in size btw). It is every modern day country a Roman Emperor was born in. This includes every Emperor of the unified Roman Empire after the crowing of Augustus, every Emperor of the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire until the deposition of Constantine by the Ottomans and does not include pretenders, claimants, regents or Consuls of the Roman Republic - only recognised Emperors! Those Emperors who’s birth location is unknown/unspecified or I simply couldn’t find out are in the ‘uncertain’ section!
As America grew in the late 19th century, so did mapmaking—and Chicago was at the heart of it.
+++Maps as visions, propaganda & lies+++
"On Sunday 2 September 1660, the Great Fire of London began reducing most of the city to ashes, and among the huge losses were many maps of the city itself. The Morgan Map of 1682 was the first to show the whole of the City of London after the fire. Consisting of sixteen separate sheets, measuring eight feet by five feet, it took six years to complete. Morgan's beautiful map symbolised the hoped-for ideal city."

"A map is a city with its human element extracted; A map is a monument to human achievement and buildings, but it is not a monument to human behaviour"
