These influences persist as an undercurrent in the current Russo-Ukrainian War. (more details)

A seminally important map, this is the 1687-88 Coronelli-Nolin separately-published map of the North American Southwest, in its first edition. This map is a cornerstone for any collection dedicated to the southwest: it is the first published map to introduce the cartography of Don Diego Peñalosa with regard to the Rio Grande valley as far north as Santa Fe. Peñalosa's cartography not only has a swashbucklingly enigmatic history, but it is also foundational for most subsequent maps of the region for the next century. This is also one of the earliest maps, following the 1660 Nicolosi map, to correctly map the Rio Grande emptying into the Gulf of Mexico as opposed to the Sea of California. (more details)
