Vintage tourist map of Rhodes Island - ca. 1930

This illustrated map of the island of Rhodes is a visually rich cartographic piece. The island is depicted in vibrant color, standing out against a deep blue seascape. The map is filled with detailed pictorial scenes depicting the life, history, and folklore of Rhodes: dancers in traditional costumes, knights, scenes of agricultural life, and mythological creatures are depicted. In the lower right-hand section, there is a dramatic illustration of the Colossus of Rhodes holding a phylactery inscribed with "Rhodos." The surrounding waters are adorned with cream-colored line drawings, showing ancient ships, sea creatures, and a stylized plan of the port city. The map measures 70 cm by 49 cm.
