Looking at photographs and old prints is always a fascinating \u2013and enlightening\u2013 way of spending a few hours. Menorca over two centuries<\/i><\/strong> is a project that consists of photographing the places illustrated in the engravings in Die Insel Menorca<\/em>, the title of the two volumes devoted to Menorca in the work Die Balearen<\/em> in Wort und Bild Geschildert<\/em> <\/strong>(\u2018The Balearic Islands in words and in images\u2019) by Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria<\/strong> (1847-1915). The aim is to compare the state of conservation of the island\u2019s cultural heritage at the end of the nineteenth century with that of the present day and to study the evolution of its landscape.\u00a0Can you find the differences?<\/p>\n
