About the Item

The print is a historical map of the province of Toledo from 1902. It's a detailed, colored map, highlighting topographical features, such as mountain ranges and rivers, as well as infrastructural elements like roads and railways. The map includes symbols that represent cities, towns, and other points of interest, with a key explaining these symbols typically found on one side of the map. The map uses contour lines to depict elevation, with different shades or colors often used to indicate various altitude ranges. Rivers and bodies of water are clearly marked, and the map likely shows the boundaries of the province with neighboring provinces and regions. The prominence of certain elements, such as railways and roads, suggests the map's practical use for navigation and travel at the time of its creation. The presence of a coat of arms or heraldic shield usually indicates the importance and pride of the region, often containing symbols of local history and identity. Such maps are valuable for historical research, providing insight into the geography, infrastructure, and administrative divisions of a region at a specific point in time. They can be used to study changes in the landscape, urban development, and the evolution of transportation networks over time. Toledo is a province located in central Spain, part of the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. It is particularly significant for its historical, cultural, and architectural heritage. The city of Toledo, the capital of the province, is often called the "Imperial City" for having been the main venue of the court of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in Spain, and the "City of the Three Cultures", having been influenced by a historical co-existence of Christians, Muslims, and Jews. Toledo's old city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can find a rich array of monuments dating from the Roman, Visigothic, Moorish, and Renaissance periods. The Toledo Cathedral and the Alcázar of Toledo are two notable landmarks. Toledo is also famous for its production of steel and the manufacturing of swords, a craft that dates back to the Roman period. The province is characterized by a varied landscape that includes the Montes de Toledo and part of the Tagus River, which provides a scenic backdrop to many of its towns and villages. It's a province that encapsulates much of Spain's rich and tumultuous history, with a wealth of stories to explore.
