Strange echoes of catastrophic post WW1 experiments in 2025. Recently remembered this 1916 map by the infamous Mark Sykes who literally located "region like parts (...) of the Riviera, fit for European colonization" in the Ottoman Empire. Imperial imagination is all about endless recycling

Rare early views of Hawaii (1860s, probably/mostly H. Chase studio) from Charles de Varigny's own albums (in private hands with his diaries). De Varigny befriended King Kamehameha V and became Hawaii's Minister for Foreign Affairs (1865). Hopelessly hoping for enough research time to work on it...
