“…Landscape and topographical art if carefully placed in its historical, social, and cultural contexts can provide important insights into the way that land has been understood and managed (Barrell, 1980;Cosgrove, 2008;Cosgrove & Daniels, 1988). Recently, researchers have stressed the "virtues of topography" (Barrell, 2013b;Daniels, 2017) in understanding change in rural and urban contexts (Bonehill & Daniels, 2012;Piana, Watkins, & Balzaretti, 2018c) forestry and vegetation analysis (McLoughlin, 1999) and historical ecology (Bruzzone, Watkins, Balzaretti, & Montanari, 2017;Gaynor & McLean, 2008). The above works use art in combination with contemporary sources and field data, arguing that its contextualization and comparison with other documents provides innovative insights into the way in which landscapes were managed, understood, and appreciated by local and foreign artists.…”

This article argues that a recent resurgence of interest in topographical art has opened up a new and exciting debate about how such drawings and paintings can be used by historical geographers. This is demonstrated by a review of recent research by historical geographers, art historians, and historians, which explores how topographical art is being interrogated to examine landscape history and environmental change. Topographical views provide insights into the way in which landscapes of the past were shaped, used, and perceived. The article establishes that topographical art is increasingly used in the analysis of past geomorphological processes, which have significant implications for current landscape and heritage management. It reveals that when topographical art is correctly contextualized it can be an extremely valuable source. The artist's biography and education is of crucial importance, as well as the comparison with historical cartographies, documents, and field data. Historical geographers are particularly well placed to undertake research, which questions the artwork's accuracy and goes beyond its literal interpretation as a straightforward depiction of a place.

A synthetic route towards homodiselenacalix[4]arene macrocycles is presented, based on the dynamic covalent chemistry of diselenides. The calixarene inner rim is decorated with either alkoxy or tert-butyl ester groups. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of two THF solvates with methoxy and ethoxy substituents reveals the high similarity of their molecular structures and alterations on the supramolecular level. In both crystal structures, solvent channels are present and differ in both shape and capacity. Furthermore, the methoxy-substituted macrocycle undergoes a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation during which the molecular structure changes its conformation from 1,3-alternate (loaded with THF/water) to 1,2-alternate (apohost form). Molecular modelling techniques were applied to explore the conformational and energetic behaviour of the macrocycles.
