New essay by me just published in the wonderful journal "Imago Mundi" on the origins of the study of map history in Paris in the 1830s through 1850s. You can read the abstract and there is a download link at mappingasprocess.net/blog/2023

Copies of the paper are limited, so please download only if you're actually going to use the work

I'm republishing the “classic” editions of LTR NCND: Pro, Rough Pro and HD Pro. In case someone needs to exactly match one of the earlier editions. This guide helps identify them all:

Return of museum items to countries of origin:

I wonder what would be the best way to make quality copies of the artifacts which are returned to their owners, to still be able to display them in the returning countries' museums, or make them available for study.

Holograms do not really show texture, and copies of bronzes or even woodwork are too expensive to make.

This is a so-called „facsimile“ of a column of the magical I am currently translating.

A is a hand copy of an original item, like a manuscript, a map or a papyrus.

Facsimiles allow to work with the "original" text when a photo is not available, and they make it easier to compare texts or sections of the text.

continues with the reprints. The theme here seems to be first appearances, but the Panther overlaps with a movie as well IIRC.

Original cover prices for both were 12 cents.
