Where is it?
|
1) A WORLD ATLAS
An
online world atlas that allows you to highlight each of the 194 sovereign countries
in the world with their local and English name in short and long form,
with their capital, flag, population, land area and with the average
life expectancy of the inhabitants. Moreover a red bar shows
the population size in an analogical way.
An additional page displays the special status territories like Gaza, Transnistria, or the Somalian states.

2) Printable World Maps
As
an Euratlas-Info member you can download printable blank or labeled
world maps adapted for A4 sheets: a b/w blank map, a b/w labeled map
with the countries, a color blank map and a color labeled map with all
the countries. Small fonts were used for the names so that all the 194
independant states of the world can be shown on one single sheet.

3) Croatia, Slavonia, Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro
Here is an old map of the Dalmatian lands: Croatia, Slavonia, the
Military Frontier, Serbia, Bosnia, Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Considering the boundaries shown on it and the activity of the author,
it appears that this map was drawn about 1865. Friedrich Handtke (1815
-1879 ) was the director of the cartographic section in the Carl
Flemming (1806 -1878 ) publishing house in Glogow or Glogau. Handtke
drew himself 168 maps out of 260 published under his authority.

4) Albania
In
the Europe Photos pages, you will find a new section with 41 pictures
of Albania, especially from the Gjirokaster and Butrint or Buthrorum
areas which are both listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
You will also see photos of the colourful Tirana, the Berat citadel,
Shkodër, Saranda and several Albanian landscapes.
