Vintage map of Spain and Portugal - ca. 1960

This vintage school poster depicts the Iberian Peninsula with a detailed economic and geographical approach. Published by Dijkstra's Uitgeverij Zeist and created by W. Bakker and H. Rusch, this pictorial map in Dutch highlights the natural resources and local products of the 1960s. The document uses a rich legend to identify areas of pastureland, irrigated crops (southern fruits), arable land, and steppe regions. Numerous illustrations dot the landscape: bunches of grapes for wine, olive trees, cork oaks, sardines for fishing, as well as industrial symbols for coal, iron, and copper mines. Mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada and the Cantabrian Mountains are also depicted. The map is mounted on two original wooden rods with its hanging cord. The map measures 110 cm by 85 cm.
