About the province of León:
León is known for its rich historical heritage, which includes significant Roman and medieval landmarks. The province's capital, León, is home to the Gothic León Cathedral, known for its beautiful stained glass windows, and the Basilica of San Isidoro, which houses royal tombs and ancient frescoes. The region is also known for the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. León's economy has historically been based on mining and agriculture, with a particular emphasis on coal and the production of wine, especially in the Bierzo region. The province's cuisine includes specialties such as cecina (cured, smoked beef) and botillo (a dish made from various cuts of pork). The landscape of León is diverse, featuring picturesque valleys, extensive plains, and portions of the Picos de Europa National Park.

1751 Map of Spain Castilla Robert De Vaugondy 1st Edition, Ric.a001
Located in Norton, MA
Large Spain Castilla Robert De Vaugondy
1751 1st Edition
-Colored- Ric.a001
Coming from a family of cartographers, a descendant of the famous Nicolas Sanson and ordinary geographer of the king, Gilles Robert de Vaugondy makes himself known by his maps of the French provinces.
He published an Essay on the History of Geography (1755) from which he excluded the physical geography "too systematic". After a Small Atlas (1748), he draws a universal Atlas (1758), a portable Atlas (1762).
His Atlas of the revolutions of the globe remains unpublished. His warnings and prefaces, his book reviews reveal a Cartesian mind and solid knowledge.
Very early, he associates with his works his son Didier who publishes, since 1742, the methodical tables of Nicolas Sanson, two Globes, one terrestrial, the other celestial (1752).
He is credited with a map of Poland...
