Notes

² Such a map would eventually resemble that life-sized one of Jorge Luis Borges in his story, ‘Of Exactitude in Science’ (1933), which weathered and tore across the terrain it represented.

³ The ‘Henry Pelham Clinton, Duke of Newcastle K.G. and Lord Lieutenant of the County’ referred to here is the man responsible for the development of Nottingham Park, prominent to the west of the town centre on this Salmon map.

⁴ The ‘Panoramic Lecture of the “Heroic Life and Career of Garibaldi”’ is a rare example of a complete surviving moving panorama which, together with its accompanying script, has been digitized by Brown University Library Center for Digital Initiatives as part of the ‘Garibaldi and the Risorgimento’ project.
