A Marteau Web Project

Virtual Places” and “Real Travellers” – are twin projects - the first aims at explorations of 17th and 18th-century maps and visual reconstructions of the world around 1700, the second offers a supplement with travelogues written in the century between 1650 and 1750.

The aim behind both projects is the connection of knowledge. Traveller A visits London in 1695, traveller B does the same a decade later in 1705. What did they see? Whom did they meet? How do their views relate to each other? How do they relate to travel guides? The e-text edition and its connection with images and maps and secondary sources is one thing to aim at. The commentary we should offer another.

We welcome contributions of travelogues and ideas how to connect them with the landscape they experienced.
