Puzzle Porto19.20€This high quality puzzle reproduce a city map of Oporto drawn in 1833 by the architect W. B. Clarke for the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (UK) and published on an atlas by Baldwin & Cradock. The SDUK was founded in 1826 by Lord Henry Brougham, a british statesman that believed in the promotion of self-education and the disclosure of the knowledge for the working classes as for the bourgeoisie that could not make use of experienced teachers. The SDUK publications were dealing with useful subjects as history, geography, zoology in an easy way to support those who had just learned to read to improve their reading skills and knowledge. Among several publications, the SDUK published some extraordinarily detailed atlas. At the time there was nothing like that anywhere in the world for its quality and price.

Puzzle Amsterdam19.20€The General Expansion Plan (Algemeen Uitbreidingsplan, or AUP) is an urban plan for the Dutch city of Amsterdam drawn up in 1934 by the architect Cornelis van Eesteren. Based on the previous plan, the Zuid Plan of 1915, by Hendrik Petrus Berlage, the AUP regulated the expansion of the city due to the strong population growth that had occurred since the end of the 19th century. Following a defined “survey before plan” strategy, Van Eesteren based the design process on empirical research founded on demographic and economic statistics, but also on the built heritage, industrial development, and on the city traffic. Minimal urban units were defined, and housing, the most important element, was articulated with public spaces, commercial facilities and a transport network, following the functionalist principle of dedicating each space to a specific function: living, working and leisure. These units were grouped together in districts that shared larger-scale services such as large parks and public facilities. Number of pieces: 540 Dimensions: 35 x 50 cm Box dimensions: 8 x 8 x 28cm

Puzzle Paris19.20€Designed by the abbot Jean Delagrive (1689-1757) in 1728, this map of Paris shows the French capital still surrounded by fields and whose center is not yet entirely built. In the title block in the top right corner we can read the title and the author’s name. All around, we can see various figures such as the Pity and the Justice and, below, Minerva, Neptune, Mercure and Venus. On the left there is a portrait of the king Louis XV, then 18-year-old, and the author’s dedication. Around the map, Delagrive designed the façade of certain famous buildings such as the palais du Louvre, the Sorbonne, the Hôpital des Invalides and the church of Notre Dame. On the two sides one can find the alphabetical list of the streets, churches and buildings represented on the map. Delagrive’s was the first map to show the freshly built Champs-Élysées and the first map which could be bought by the public.
