This map was drawn in 1896 by Julius Straube, a military cartographer who founded the Geographischen Instituts und Landkartenverlag that published, between 1858 and 1913, several thematic maps of the city of Berlin. Among these, is a map with bus lines (1864), postal districts (1873), taxi circulation areas (1884), in addition to a general plan of the city (1910), extremely detailed and divided into 44 sheets.

The Monumental Map of the Capital was published for the Industrial Exhibition of 1896, where the splendor of advances in the country, which at the time was at the height of technological progress, was evident.

On the map you can find the railway lines, tram lines, steam train lines, and horse-drawn wagon lines, in addition to the most relevant buildings in the capital. Some monuments are depicted in vignettes arranged around the map where, in the lower right corner, it is possible to observe the exhibition area identified as "Gewerbeausstellung 1896".

This high quality puzzle reproduce a city map of Madrid 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.

The Topographical Plan of Florence, designed by Gaetano Auzzani, engraved by Giacinto Maina and edited by Giovanni Berni in 1850 is a tribute of high quality to the "very deserving gonfalonier of the city of Florence" Vincenzo Peruzzi. Peruzzi was the last gonfalonier of Florence, an important political figure with high military, administrative and religious powers common in Tuscan cities, and he left many finished works to the city. Perhaps this is the reason for there being, on both sides of the map, an extensive and organized list of buildings with various information: the area where they are located, the name, the state of construction, the author and the era. In the first lines of the list on the left there is also an indication of the three circles of walls that were built from 775 onwards. The plan is organized with a chromatic convention that divides the buildings of worship, the public buildings, the private buildings, the most significant buildings and, with the use of a brown line, shows the division of the city into terzieri, an administrative subdivision into three neighborhoods of the time.
