Podcast

We will start up several podcast productions in due time.

Podcast on old maps, you say/wonder?…. Yes, this is very plausible.

We will concentrate on specific topics (in random order):

• The key mapmakers;
• Families in mapmaking;
• The pre-Flemish mapmaking;
• Maps by Gerard Mercator;
• Why Flanders was essential in modern mapmaking;
• The overtaking by Dutch mapmakers;
• The decline of Dutch mapmaking;
• The essential position of the Flemish-Dutch cartography;
• War in mapping;
• Mapping techniques;
• The VOC (Dutch East India Company);
• The WIC (Dutch West India Company);
• The sea passages SE, W, SW, NW and NE to the Oriental spices (see the banner above of the North Maluku islands);
• etc…

And so many interesting issues to discuss in audio
