1. Title: "A Geometrical Glimpse into 19th Century Barcelona: A Historical Map by Josèphe-Louis Mascarès (José Mas y Vila)" This 19th century map print, titled "Plano Geométrico de Barcelona," offers a unique perspective into the urban planning and architectural landscape of Barcelona during this period. Created by the renowned cartographer Josèphe-Louis Mascarès (José Mas y Vila), this engraving represents an essential historical document that showcases the city's development and evolution. The map, held in the Historical Archive of Barcelona, is a testament to the meticulous planning and engineering that characterized Barcelona during the 19th century. The horizontal layout of the map highlights the city's grid-like street pattern, with each block neatly demarcated by its geometric boundaries. The colorful representation of the walled city center, with its citadel and various fortifications, adds depth and intrigue to the image. The map's cartographic details reveal the presence of significant landmarks, such as the Barcelona Cathedral, the Royal Palace, and the various markets and public spaces that were integral to the city's daily life. The inclusion of the city's defensive walls, which were an essential part of Barcelona's urban fabric until their dismantling in the late 19th century, underscores the historical significance of this map. As a valuable historical artifact, this geometrical map by Josèphe-Louis Mascarès provides a fascinating glimpse into the planning and engineering of Barcelona during the 19th century. Its intricate details and accurate representation make it an essential resource for historians, urban planners, and anyone interested in the rich history of this vibrant Spanish city.
