A Story behind the Map
There are maps that do not attract attention at first glance; they do not show sensational discoveries, nor are they equipped with impressive cartouches. What makes them important is the story behind them. The article presents a case study of a manuscript map of the Huayabamba Valley (Peru), from 1913, which is kept in the Royal Geographical Society’s Collection. Created on the basis of a Peruvian American expedition, this map hides three excepti…
Mapping the Missionary World
The nineteenth century marked a turning point in the way that European missionary endeavours were mapped. The expansion of missionary societies and their needs brought to the fore the issue of systematization and visualization of data related to missionization. The primary aim of maps was not to mark the geographical features of an unknown region but to quantify missionary activity and its distribution in various parts of the world, thus marking …

The huge geopolitical changes that took place during the nineteenth century had a crucial impact on East-Central European cartography. The Croatian example is perhaps one of the most specific ones. Divided between the imperial interests of France, Britain, Italy, Hungary, and the Austrian Empire, nineteenth-century mapping of Croatia went through a long journey, from imperial mapping in the first half of the nineteenth century to the development …

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the map of Dalmatia by Johannes Janssonius and maps by his contemporaries. Janssonius’s cartographical models and the sources of the printed text accompanying his map are identified. The roles of Croatian cartographers and Venetian and Ottoman reports dealing with the border are uncovered. The importance of Janssonius’s map in disseminating knowledge about the little-known geography and history of Dalm…
