Reading miniatures and plans
- Scale is often symbolic in miniatures — look for pictorial clues rather than precise measurements.
- Compare maps across time to spot urban expansion, riverfront changes, and fortification adjustments.
Exercise: Compare a 16th-century miniature with an 18th-century plan to spot changes in the castle's footprint.
