Description
This is a large-format map of Barcelona produced in the mid-1930s by D. Juan Prats Vazquez and Editorial Rapido.
The contrast between the old Barri Gòtic and the highly planned, more modern city surrounding it is immediately apparent. Roads, railways, and important or famous sites are labeled throughout, and advertisements surround the map.
Only four examples are noted in the OCLC, all in European institutions.
