1902 Cartographic View of Salamanca: The Golden Province of Spain

About the Item

This map showcases the province of Salamanca in the year 1902. Salamanca is located in the autonomous community of Castile and León in western Spain. It is bordered by the provinces of Zamora, Valladolid, Ávila, and Cáceres, and is situated close to the Portuguese border. Salamanca is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, including the University of Salamanca, which is one of the oldest universities in Europe and contributes to the province's reputation as a center of learning and education. The province features a varied landscape with mountains, such as the Sierra de Francia, and the Duero and Tormes rivers providing natural beauty and resources. The historical city of Salamanca, the province's capital, is known for its golden sandstone architecture, which has earned it the nickname "La Dorada" (The Golden City). It's a UNESCO World Heritage site, replete with historic buildings, including two cathedrals, the Casa de las Conchas, and the Plaza Mayor, which is one of the most beautiful squares in Spain. The map details the geography of the province with its road networks, railway lines, and natural features like rivers and mountain ranges, as they existed in the early 20th century.

Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania 'Pennsylvania State'
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A fine antique of the colony of Pennsylvania. Noted at the top of the sheet as a 'Map of the province of Pensilvania'. This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's. The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh, and the northern boundary is not marked. The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to the Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east. There are no latitude or longitude markings, blank verso. Framed in a shaped contemporary gilt wooden frame and matted under a cream colored matte. Bearing an old Graham Arader Gallery...
