Baptista Boazio's Map of Sir Francis Drake's Raid on St. Augustine (published in 1589)

I suggest that all the photos from the State Library here be posted at a size of at least 1024 pixels wide so they can be better appreciated.

  This picture is an amazing history artifact. I had no idea that back in 1940 the army would care about camouflage details like that.

  Niall McAuley Galicia near Poland is another new one on me. The nucleus of historic Galicia lies within the modern regions of western Ukraine: Lviv, Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk near Halych.[9] In the 18th century, territories that later became part of the modern Polish regions of Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Subcarpathian Voivodeship and Silesian Voivodeship were added to Galicia.

  Never knew Kaliningrad used to be Koningsberg, either. Buda and Pesta marked separately.
