Gipuzkoa 1902: A Cartographic Snapshot of the Basque Coastline and Highlands
About the Item
The map showcases the province of Gipuzkoa (also known as Guipúzcoa in Spanish), which is part of the autonomous community of the Basque Country in northern Spain, as of the year 1902. The map includes several notable features:
It depicts the mountainous terrain of the region, which is characteristic of the Basque Country, with detailed contour lines. There's a clear representation of the Cantabrian Sea coastline, including the rough coastal landscape for which the region is known. Blue lines likely represent the network of rivers that traverse the province, including the Urumea and Oria rivers. Red lines indicate roads and railways, outlining the transportation infrastructure critical for the region's connectivity. Various symbols are used to mark the locations of cities and towns, with the capital city, Donostia-San Sebastián, presumably indicated. Dotted lines suggest the administrative boundaries within the province. The map features a legend (Signos Convencionales) that explains the symbols used for provincial capitals, roads, railways, and other landmarks. A scale in kilometers at the bottom provides a reference for distance measurement.
The coat of arms of Gipuzkoa is prominently displayed, incorporating traditional heraldic imagery associated with the region's identity.
About the province of Gipuzkoa:
Gipuzkoa is one of the three provinces that make up the Basque Country, and it is known for its lush landscapes, coastal towns, and industrial heritage. The capital city, Donostia-San Sebastián, is famous for its beautiful bay of La Concha, vibrant cultural life, and its prestigious annual international film festival. The province has a strong industrial economy, with a history of steel manufacturing, and is also a leader in cooperative enterprises, most notably the Mondragon Corporation. The Basque culinary tradition is celebrated in Gipuzkoa, which boasts numerous high-quality restaurants, including several with Michelin stars. Traditional Basque sports, such as pelota and rural sports, are popular in the province. Gipuzkoa's unique cultural identity, language (Euskara), and traditions are a significant part of the region's allure.

Produced as part of the "Spruner-Menke Atlas Antiquus" by Karl Spruner von Merz and edited by Theodorus Menke, this map reflects the 19th-century European scholarship on ancient geography and history.

- Original plans and projects for the redevelopment of Hursley Park: 1902 - 1904Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FRThis set of model elements accompanied by plans constitutes part of the project to redevelop the Hursley Park mansion, also called , commissioned by the Coopers family who acquired it in 1902. The project is entrusted to the architect Scottish Alexander Marshall Mackenzie (1848-1933). Originally built in the early 1720s, Hursley House was purchased in 1902 by Sir George Cooper and his wife Mary Emma Smith. Their desire to transform the place into an 18th century palace is perfectly illustrated by the purchase, to decorate their ballroom, of 18th century Beauvais tapestries. The decor was to highlight the French art collections of the Hursley Park mansion. The model elements that we present perfectly embody an eclectic taste for the arts of the 18th century, and in particular the ornamentation which simultaneously summons all the styles up to that of Louis XIV. The model, representing the decorations, allows you to see all the opulence of the interior of Hursley House. Large openings hosting tapestries, highlighted by richly decorated woodwork, frame large doors or mirrors displaying large garlands of flowers. The main model presents an interior design project for the “Grand Salon”. Another part of the models is dedicated to the representation of a bedroom of Mrs. Gould, on cardboard made by Tochon-Lepage & Cie. The model of the Grand Salon, probably an abandoned project of the Drawing Room which was actually completed, presents a sumptuous decoration in a Regency style. Rectangular in shape, the two longest walls of the room in turn present a decor decorated with tapestries and a series of three windows accompanied by a large mirror. The two smaller walls facing each other have on one side a fireplace topped...Category

- Half Hull Model and Framed Photograph of the Yacht 'Barabel', circa 1902.Located in London, GBA rare builders half hull boat model of the 36 Linear Rater yacht Barabel, designed by A Mylne, Glasgow. The half hull boat model is made from solid timber, and painted cream to the waterline with painted caveta and black below, with a black deck. Bearing an ivorine plaque inscribed: Mr C.MacIver's "Barabel" 36LR designed by A Mylne, Glasgow on a mahogany backboard, set with 56 silver regatta prize flags, circa 1902-1904. The nautical half hull comes together with a framed photograph of Barabel sailing at sea. Alfred Mylne was apprenticed to the famous Scottish shipbuilders, Napier Shanks and Bell. He then worked as draftsman to G.L. Watson, where he was involved in drawing up the plans of the Royal Yacht "Britannia," the magnificent racing cutter that was first owned by the Prince of Wales [later King Edward VII] and which later passed to his son, King George V. Mylne set up his own office in 1896, which almost certainly makes the firm that still bears his name the world's oldest yacht design business in continuous production. Mylne immediately established a reputation as a designer of winning yachts, and was one of the people behind the most successful yacht handicap rules of all time - the International Metre Rule. Mylne designs were always admired for their elegance, and this was one of the attractions that drew owners to commission cruisers of every size from his design board...Category
