Images of Bergen
First non-photography! Swipe for coloured version.

Hieronymus Scholeus drew a view of #Bergen in 1581, creating the world's oldest (known) depiction of the city, and the first of a Norwegian city at all.

There was uncertainty whether the artist had ever actually been in Bergen, due to odd inconsistencies such as the palisade fence around the city which has never been there, but letters from the client to the king states the artist actually came here. The working theory is that #Scholeus drew it from a number of sketches after having left the city, and added a few details in post.

Collected with a large number of other copper engravings of cities, this image was in the German-published series "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" (Cities of the world).

Rajouter à la #todolist de mars déjà chargée : migrer les cartes perso et pro de Carto.com vers @umap avant suppression de compte

C'est vrai que j'ai tendance à m'ennuyer en ce moment... [non]

Map showing select #Phoenician / #Canaanite colonies and settlements with their known or reasonably suggested endonymic names.

This map is more information card than eye-candy, with a look-up table of settlements, being a review of almost 90 different sources. As always all information is on the image. There are two versions here: A and B, with B being for if A is too hard to read.

Edit: by the way I did try to automate citations due to the ridiculous amount of reading. There may be errors due to the software.

Map depicting the outermost reach of the #SwissConfederation , as in showing modern borders vs areas outside of that which in the past belonged either directly to any current member state of Switzerland, or past associate states, or areas which were part of past associate states. The valley of #Veltlin shown in particular, as it was a major part of the #GreyLeagues , which themselves used to be merely an associate of #Switzerland rather than a member state.
