Description
hand-coloured lithograph.
A very desirable map for any collector of Manila prints from Diccionario Geografico-Estadistico-Historico de las Islas Filipinas.
Produced by the Augustinian friars and scholars Fr. Manuel Buzeta and Fr. Felipe Bravo, this detailed plan ranks among the most important printed maps of 19th-century Manila. It depicts the colonial capital at the height of Spanish rule, recording the fortified city of Intramuros, its suburbs, roads, waterways, churches and public buildings.
