About the Item

The map illustrates the province of Cádiz, located in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain, from the year 1901. It displays various geographic and man-made features: The map depicts the varied landscape of Cádiz, including the mountainous regions, such as the Sierra de Grazalema, and the lower elevation areas closer to the coast. The map details the extensive coastline that Cádiz has along both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, including the Strait of Gibraltar. Blue lines mark the rivers, such as the Guadalquivir River which borders the province to the north. Red lines represent the roads and railways, which show how the province is connected internally and with the surrounding regions. Various symbols indicate the locations of cities and towns, with the capital city of Cádiz possibly highlighted. Dotted lines may represent the borders of Cádiz province within Andalusia. The map includes a legend (Signos Convencionales) that explains the symbols used for provincial capitals, roads, railways, and boundaries. There is a scale in kilometers at the bottom for distance measurement. The coat of arms of Cádiz is prominently displayed, featuring Hercules and two lions in silver plated print, which are symbols deeply associated with the mythological foundation of the city and the region. The crown is highlighted with gold. About the province of Cádiz: Cádiz is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe, with a rich history that includes Phoenician, Roman, and Moorish influences. The province is known for its beautiful beaches, such as those of Tarifa, which are popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing due to the strong winds in the Strait of Gibraltar. The region is also famous for its Sherry wine production, particularly in the towns of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María, and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The province's cultural heritage is celebrated through its annual carnivals, especially the one in the city of Cádiz, which is among the most famous in Spain. The local cuisine features seafood prominently, with dishes like "pescaíto frito" (fried fish) being a local staple. Cádiz is also known for its contributions to flamenco music and dance.

Echoes of Empire: Spanish Territories in West Africa, 1903
Located in Langweer, NL
This is a historical map showing Spanish possessions in West Africa from the year 1903. The map includes the islands of Fernando Póo (now known as Bioko), part of the modern-day country of Equatorial Guinea, Annobón Island, and the Elobey Islands, along with the Spanish-controlled areas on the continental region near Rio Muni. These territories were part of Spain's colonial empire and are situated in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of Central Africa. Fernando Póo (Bioko) is particularly notable for its volcanic origins and as a center of cocoa production during the colonial period. Annobón, lying further southwest of Bioko, is a small volcanic island. The Elobey Islands are very small and located near the coast of Gabon. Here's a brief overview of their significance: 1. **Bioko Island (Fernando Póo)**: The island has a rich biodiversity and is known for its unique flora and fauna, including several endemic species. Malabo, the capital city of Equatorial Guinea, is located here. 2. **Annobón Island**: This remote island has a small population and is known for its isolation and distinctive Creole culture, which has developed independently from the mainland. 3. **Elobey Islands**: These consist of Elobey Grande and Elobey Chico and are situated near the mouths of the Muni and Campo rivers. They were historically important as transit points in river trade...
