Paris Transformed
Appointed by Emperor Napoleon III in 1853, Seine Prefect and city planner Georges-Eugène Haussmann (1809-1891) reconfigured the map of France’s capital into the ‘city of light’ we celebrate today. The Digital Gallery is pleased to offer the exhibit Paris Transformed as part of the California Map Society's annual conference which took place on 25 April 2020. Here you can explore maps and images related to Paris during its transformation under the regimes of the Second Empire (1852-1870) and Third Republic (1870-1940). Curated by C. Spikes.

1777: Decisive Year of The American Revolution - by Ron Gibbs
9/8/23 - The Digital Gallery is pleased to present the second exhibit in the American Revolution Series. Previously, in Exhibit 40, "George Washington and The American Revolution, 1775-1776," we displayed, through historic maps and iconic images, the course of the first two years of the war. The cause of American Independence went from elation when the American militia forced the British to retreat from Concord, Massachusetts (April 1775), to horror at the carnage at Bunker Hill (June 1775), and back to victory when the British Army was forced to evacuate Boston (March 1776). But a huge British force returned to New York (July 1776) and defeated General George Washington's army in a series of battles through late summer and autumn. The American cause was on the brink of disaster (December 1776) when Washington decided upon a bold stroke of war to save the American Revolution--and the future of the United States.Come with us now as we jump back to catch up with the momentous story of the Campaign of 1777 and why it proved to be the Decisive Year of the American Revolution.Note : I wish to acknowledge the contributions of my good friend Tom Paper to the development and production of this exhibit.keyword: rongibbs

Atlas to Marshall's Life of Washington - from the Jane and Ronald Gibbs Collection
5/11/24 - This book was shared by Ron Gibbs at Bay Area Map (BAM) Group meeting at Rothman residence. Ron has written two historical novels about George Washington around the time of the revolution. More info can be found on Ron’s website here.An atlas made as a complement to the famous biography of George Washington, written by Supreme Court Justice John Marshall. From the collection of Jane and Ron Gibbs.From Wikipedia: John Marshall (September 24, 1755 – July 6, 1835) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the fourth chief justice of the United States from 1801 until his death in 1835. Marshall remains the longest-serving chief justice and fourth-longest serving justice in Supreme Court history, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential justices to ever sit on the Supreme Court. Prior to joining the Supreme Court (and for one month simultaneous to his tenure as Chief Justice), Marshall served as the fourth United States Secretary of State under President John Adams.After his appointment to the Supreme Court, Marshall began working on a biography of George Washington. He did so at the request of his close friend, Associate Justice Bushrod Washington, who had inherited the papers of his uncle. Marshall's The Life of George Washington, the first biography about a U.S. president ever published, spanned five volumes and just under one thousand pages. The first two volumes, published in 1803, were poorly-received and seen by many as an attack on the Democratic-Republican Party.[119] Nonetheless, historians have often praised the accuracy and well-reasoned judgments of Marshall's biography, while noting his frequent paraphrases of published sources such as William Gordon's 1801 history of the Revolution and the British Annual Register.[120] After completing the revision to his biography of Washington, Marshall prepared an abridgment. In 1833 he wrote, "I have at length completed an abridgment of the Life of Washington for the use of schools. I have endeavored to compress it as much as possible. ... After striking out every thing which in my judgment could be properly excluded the volume will contain at least 400 pages."[121] The Abridgment was not published until 1838, three years after Marshall died.[122]Keywords: RonGibbs

They were lovely - the island we liked best was Radiate. It was also where we found our idea of our “Tahiti” - a river that went into the jungle, where we soon started hearing drums.11:47:53 From Suzanne Knecht to Everyone: I got a work book which I went through diligently. It was a very foggy period where I lived, so even day I would call someone at the coast to see if there was a horizon - it never happened, so went to the ferry building since I heard that you don’t really need a full horizon. It worked.11:48:58 From Courtney Spikes, CMS to Everyone: Suzanne Knecht has to hop off soon but has graciously offered to answer more questions, if you care to email her directly: suzan.knecht44@gmail.com THANK YOU Suzanne!11:49:05 From Emily Yang to Everyone: Reacted to "Suzanne Knecht has t..." with ❤️11:50:41 From Ken Habeeb to Everyone: The African profile is very good for the date!11:52:04 From Ken Habeeb to Everyone: Also Africa is not at all accurate.11:57:36 From Wade to Everyone: Suzanne's book doesn't appear on amazon, but it can be found on ABE.11:59:49 From Courtney Spikes, CMS to Everyone: Amazon has her paperback on offer: https://www.amazon.com/Night-Watch-Circumnavigation-Suzanne-Knecht/dp/1401040810/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uTLty0neiEpXbuje0NKJ1Q.zxZ4XsrnUyoZHy0bBK29o-3UI6pvocx0ok1JhcBp0IM&qid=1709408137&sr=1-1 12:03:12 From Courtney Spikes, CMS to Everyone: For a closer look at Suzanne’s drawings/maps, check out her exhibit on Pixeum (thank you Tom Paper!): https://pixeum.org/exhibits/493/night-watch-suzanne-knecht12:06:05 From Ronald Gibbs, CMS to Everyone: Chet,12:09:01 From Ronald Gibbs, CMS to Everyone: Chet, Superb !

Making Race in Early American Art and Maps - Andrew Gu
What is race? How does a person come to see intelligence, virtue, or faith written on another person's skin? The answers lie in the fact that human beings need to learn how to think in terms of race. The maps of early American colonization let us glimpse ideas formed during a collision of continents, when human beings from opposite sides of the Atlantic first attempted to understand—and exploit—one another. Their caricatures and convenient omissions paint a picture not of clear racial categories but of a world in which Europeans and Americans alike constructed ”race” using gender, lifestyle, and other categories of difference. This exhibit was initially created for the California Map Society 2024 summer conference on June 29, 2024. You can follow the exhibit story used for the CMS presentation by clicking the green circle with a 1 above this description.
