Historical, statistical, and geographical information on Great Britain and Ireland
The map comes from a rare
Spanish atlas "El Globo" containing maps engraved by Ramon Alabern,
based on French maps by
Dufour and Duvotenay. The atlas was edited in Madrid in 1852 by Gaspar and Roig (see
link below) but was put together one year later (some maps carry the date of 1853).
The maps are accompanied
by detailed geographical, statistical, and historical notes.
Auguste Henri Dufour (1798-1865)
published a number of atlases in the early 19th century.
Thunot Duvotenay (1796-1875) was a French geographer and publisher.
This authentic
map of the British isles (England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland) is
a scarce example of Spanish map-making. Shires and counties
of Scotland, England, Ireland, and Wales are listed
in the legend. Railroads are marked.
Two bonus pages from the atlas (85-88), containing interesting information (in Spanish)
about the British Isles
are included. The pages contain the following sections:
-
England (short history; counties, principal towns, population; geography;
description of major towns)
-
Scotland (short history; counties, principal towns, population; geography;
description of major towns)
-
Ireland (short history; counties, principal towns, population; geography)
The map is a magnificent document and
a treat for history buffs.
