{"product_id":"havanna-stadtplan-vintage-map-giclee-druck","title":"Havana | City Map | Vintage Map | Giclée Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eReproduction of a historical city map of Havana. The work, titled \"Plano de la Habana,\" was created by Estéban T. Pichardo, a respected farmer and master of arts, and published by José Valdepares. Published in 1881, the map is a significant cartographic representation of Havana, Cuba. The original measures 111 cm in width and 86 cm in height and was printed by A. Simon for Imprimerie Becquet in Paris. It is characterized by the use of colors to distinguish different city districts and prominent features, offering a clear visual representation of the city plan. The map is executed in a scientific and systematic style, reflecting the precision and modern cartographic standards of the late 19th century. It displays a mixture of topographical and urban planning cartography, utilizing a clear legend to identify various features and symbols. The map shows the entire port of Havana and its surroundings, including the rapidly growing suburbs. Every street is labeled in detail, and the city is divided into ten numbered and color-coded districts (Distritos). Planned development areas are shown with dashed lines, indicating Havana's anticipated growth. Cultural and Historical Context: The map was created in the final years of Spanish colonial rule in Cuba and depicts Havana during a period of significant urban expansion and economic development. Despite ongoing conflicts in other parts of Cuba, Havana itself was not directly involved in these uprisings. Instead, the city experienced an economic boom, partly due to war contracts and immigration from Spain. Key Sights and Features: The map records numerous public institutions, parks, squares, fortresses, barracks, hospitals, schools, and religious sites. The map meticulously details Havana's tram network and railway lines connecting the city to its rural hinterland, highlighting their importance to the sugarcane slave economy, which persisted until the abolition of slavery in 1886. The Old Town at the tip of the peninsula is highlighted, with historical references to the former city walls, which have now been replaced by new urban developments. \u003cbr\u003eWe strive to represent the colors of our items as accurately as possible.
