November's Item of the Month: Two Track Charts of the Napoleonic Period

12 Nov 2010

November's item of the month is actually two items of the month! Taken from the Museum's chart and map collections are two very fine manuscript track charts dated 1802 and 1808 respectively. These items provide a fascinating and unexpected glimpse of the wider goings-on in a most turbulent time in world history
