Identity of a painting

There's a discussion on Commons here:[1] about if a painting is Cardinal Richelieu or Henri, Duke of Rohan. Knowledgeable views welcome. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:56, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Gråbergs Gråa Sång, I am not knowledgeable, but I have provided some information anyway. TSventon (talk) 15:46, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Old Manipur maps?

Hi. Anyone knows where online it would be possible to find some good maps of Manipur from 1950s or 1960s, in which administrative division borders like tehsils, circles, subdivisions, panas could be found? My google search didn't come up with anything good so far. -- Soman (talk) 17:17, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

I've spent some time looking, and have also come up empty. The National Archives of India at abhilekh-patal.in only seem to have digitised cartographic material through the late 1800s. Archive.org hosts An Historical Atlas of the Indian Subcontinent, but this was published 1949. The National Atlas of India (1959, ed. S.P. Chatterjee) seems like a promising source, but I haven't found it digitised anywhere. The National Atlas has many further editions and supplementa, none of which appear to be available online. I haven't done a thorough TWL search, but maybe that's the next step. Folly Mox (talk) 18:12, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
