Volcanic Eden: The Canary Islands’ Tapestry of Land and Sea in 1902

About the Item

The map is the second sheet (2ª HOJA) of a historical map series of the Canary Islands from 1902. It depicts three of the major islands: Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote, along with smaller islets like La Graciosa near Lanzarote. The map of Gran Canaria shows a varied topography with a central mountainous region, while Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are characterized by less elevation and smoother contours, indicative of their more arid and volcanic landscapes. Notable features of these islands include: 1. **Gran Canaria**: Known for its diverse climates and landscapes, Gran Canaria is sometimes referred to as a "miniature continent." The capital city, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, is a cultural and economic hub in the archipelago. 2. **Fuerteventura**: The island is famous for its extensive sandy beaches and is a popular destination for wind sports like windsurfing and kitesurfing due to the strong winds. 3. **Lanzarote**: Recognized for its unique volcanic landscapes, Lanzarote has been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The island's Timanfaya National Park is a significant attraction, showcasing the raw beauty of its volcanic terrain. 4. **La Graciosa**: This small island near Lanzarote is known for its tranquility and beautiful beaches. It is part of the Chinijo Archipelago Natural Park, the largest marine reserve in Europe.

Island Whimsy Designing a Paradise by the Sea

By Rizzoli International Publications

Located in New York, NY

Author Celerie Kemble A house by the sea should be a house of dreams. Where windows and doors are thrown open to the ocean, and gusts of cool, salty air turn us all into kids again--buoyant and joyful. Spending childhood days on the beach and in the magical, romantic chaos of her family's rambling house internationally renowned interior designer Celerie Kemble has a deep-rooted connection to the sun and surf. However, in the summer of 2004, Kemble laid eyes on a wild swath of jungle in the Dominican Republic next to minty-blue water and an endless stretch of golden sand, she fell madly in love. Over many years, she designed a home away from home there, an island retreat--a clubhouse and a grouping of family homes and guesthouses--suffused with light and air, full of indoor and outdoor rooms for relaxation. In her latest book, Island Whimsy, Kemble recounts the deeply personal and creative journey of designing Playa Grande and bringing this labor of love to life. The chapters of this book are organized around the different ways Kemble sought to braid her family's story into the larger landscape of Playa Grande and to provide inspiration, joy, and respite to all who come. "Fantasy" looks at the way she used whimsical, dreamlike elements--from the latticework cabanas by the pool to the lamb statues...
