Dave Lovell shared this map of bomb damage in part of London (including the Imperial War Museum) during the second war (seems to be a theme for Dave). Taken at https://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-london I was stuck by the meticulous care which must have gone into recording the location and state of damage. I could […]
Coen Nengerman sent us this picture of a moth. “This moth looks like an old topographic map” And I can see what he means, could be Mothcow 🙂
Dave Lovell sent me this map of Bataille de Stonne. “Here is a map with Stonne in the Ardenes top centre. I took this whilst visiting to take photos for www.twgpp.org It’s one of a number of roadside historic panels, each also clearly marked on the map. The story describing the significance […]
Dan Harel pointed me at this stunning cigarette case which belonged to Justin Meyers‘ grandfather. Almost makes we want to take up smoking.

Angharad spotted this weird map advertising Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Seville. Possibly […]
Tom Armitage pointed us to this tasty looking gin bottle snapped by Dan Harris before he cracked it open in lockdown desperation. “Nice bit of map based packaging on this @ShetlandReelGin bottle of rhubarb & bramble we’re about to tuck into. Almost a shame to break into it, but we’re […]
Alice Gadney shared this lovely old map scarf (I think the map is old not the scarf). I think she is starting a competition with Angharad Stone but there can only be one winner!
