Lars Grava on “At the Edge of Empires – Maps of the Baltic States”

The Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been at the crossroads of neighboring powers for centuries. Antique maps of these countries depict the diverse geographic, political, societal, cultural, and economic features that have determined their history. Lars Grava presented highlights of his collection of 400 maps of the region (with a special focus on Latvia) which was started by his father in the 1960s and Lars continues to this day.
