Madrid 1901: A Historical Map of Spain's Capital Province

About the Item

The map is of the province of Madrid, the capital region of Spain, as it appeared in 1901. Here are the key features it displays: The map shows the central part of Spain, with the Guadarrama mountain range prominently visible, marking the natural border to the north of Madrid. Blue lines likely indicate rivers, including the Manzanares River, which flows through Madrid, and the Jarama River, a tributary to the Tagus. Red lines depict the roads and railways, outlining the infrastructure that connects Madrid's various towns and cities within the province and beyond. Symbols and labels mark the locations of cities, towns, and villages, with Madrid itself likely being the focal point. Dotted lines may represent the administrative divisions within the province. The map includes a legend (Signos Convencionales) that explains the symbols used for provincial capitals, roads, railways, and other geographic features. The coat of arms of Madrid, featuring a bear and a strawberry tree (madroño), is prominently featured, symbolizing the city's and the province's historical coat of arms. About the province of Madrid: Madrid is not only the capital of Spain but also the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, both geographically and politically. The city is renowned for its rich repositories of European art, including the Prado Museum's works by Goya, Velázquez, and other Spanish masters. The province of Madrid is characterized by a blend of historical and modern elements, with a rich cultural life that includes theater, opera, and flamenco, as well as gastronomy that features a mix of traditional Spanish dishes and international cuisine. Madrid is also a major educational hub, home to several universities and research institutions. The surrounding region offers a variety of natural landscapes, from the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra de Guadarrama to the arid plains south of the capital.

  • 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...
