Colonial empires through time

In 2020-2021, with the project "The Untouched Collection", I was researching a 19th century collection of travelling books to collect illustrations of African nature and explore issues of de/colonisation.

In winter 2021, as I visited Valencia's botanic gardens, it became obvious to me that botanic gardens would be my next research axis. 

Today, I wanted to have a better idea of when and how these gardens appeared and as they are directly linked to colonial empires, I wanted to visualise the geographical developement of these empires through time.
