Echoes of Empire: Spanish Territories in West Africa, 1903
Located in Langweer, NL
This is a historical map showing Spanish possessions in West Africa from the year 1903. The map includes the islands of Fernando Póo (now known as Bioko), part of the modern-day country of Equatorial Guinea, Annobón Island, and the Elobey Islands, along with the Spanish-controlled areas on the continental region near Rio Muni.
These territories were part of Spain's colonial empire and are situated in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of Central Africa. Fernando Póo (Bioko) is particularly notable for its volcanic origins and as a center of cocoa production during the colonial period. Annobón, lying further southwest of Bioko, is a small volcanic island. The Elobey Islands are very small and located near the coast of Gabon.
Here's a brief overview of their significance:
1. **Bioko Island (Fernando Póo)**: The island has a rich biodiversity and is known for its unique flora and fauna, including several endemic species. Malabo, the capital city of Equatorial Guinea, is located here.
2. **Annobón Island**: This remote island has a small population and is known for its isolation and distinctive Creole culture, which has developed independently from the mainland.
3. **Elobey Islands**: These consist of Elobey Grande and Elobey Chico and are situated near the mouths of the Muni and Campo rivers. They were historically important as transit points in river trade...

1817 John Thomson's Handcolored Antique Map of St. Kitts, Nevis, and St. Lucia
Located in Langweer, NL
This is an antique map depicting the islands of St. Kitts (St. Christopher's) and Nevis in the West Indies, along with a smaller inset map of St. Lucia.
The main map focuses on St. Kitts, with detailed topographical features such as mountain ranges, volcanic peaks, and plantation areas indicated by cross-hatching and stippling. The coastline is meticulously outlined, with bays and capes labeled. The island of Nevis appears in a smaller inset on the right, detailed in a similar fashion with its own unique landscape features.
The inset of St. Lucia at the bottom left shows the rugged terrain of the island, including its mountains and natural harbors. Each island's map is framed within its own neat line border, with a title block for identification.
The map appears to be hand-colored, a common practice of the time for high-quality maps, which emphasizes the land against the sea. Pink shading outlines the islands, while green tones likely represent lower elevations and yellow tones for higher elevations.
The condition of the map suggests it has been well-preserved, with the paper maintaining its integrity and the colors remaining vivid. There are signs of aging, such as slight discoloration and possible foxing, but these are typical for documents of this era and do not significantly detract from the visual appeal or the information presented.
This map would have been an important navigational aid for sailors and a source of geographic knowledge for those interested in the West Indies during the period it was made. The craftsmanship and detail also make it a fine example of cartographic art...

Arctic Exploration: An Original Map of the North Circumpolar Regions, 1882
Located in Langweer, NL
This map, extracted from the 1882 atlas by Blackie & Son, presents the North Circumpolar Regions in a projection centered on the North Pole, offering a unique view of the Arctic territories. The map's radial lines emanate from the pole, focusing on the northernmost parts of continents and the intricate archipelagos that are scattered across the Arctic Ocean.
The territories of Canada, Greenland, Northern Europe, Russia, and the northern extremities of Asia are portrayed with careful detail, highlighting the geography known to Victorian explorers. Notably, the map's color palette is subdued, with the cold regions depicted in pale hues, while coastlines and political boundaries are traced in warmer tones, providing a stark contrast that emphasizes the frigid environment.
The map likely served purposes both educational and navigational, capturing the extent of polar exploration at the time. Names of seas, straits, and islands honor explorers and patrons of the age of Arctic exploration, and the map also hints at the incomplete knowledge of the era, with some areas less detailed than others, reflecting the limits of exploration and cartographic knowledge of the Arctic region at that time.
Moreover, the map includes longitudinal and latitudinal markers, which would have been crucial for navigation and expedition planning. The inclusion of such detail illustrates the growing interest in polar exploration during the late 19th century...
