Riassunto

The Lowery Collection: A Descriptive List Of Maps Of The Spanish Possessions Within The Present Limits Of The United States, 1502-1820 is a book written by Woodbury Lowery and published in 1912. The book is a comprehensive guide to the collection of maps that Lowery had acquired over a period of several years. The maps in the collection depict the Spanish possessions within the present limits of the United States, dating from the early 16th century to the early 19th century. The book provides a detailed description of each map in the collection, including its creator, date of creation, size, and condition. The maps are arranged chronologically, allowing readers to trace the evolution of Spanish exploration and colonization in the Americas. In addition to the descriptions of the maps, the book includes a historical introduction that provides context for the maps and their significance. Lowery discusses the early Spanish explorers and their interactions with Native American cultures, as well as the political and economic developments that led to the establishment of Spanish colonies in the Americas. Overall, The Lowery Collection is an invaluable resource for historians, cartographers, and anyone interested in the history of Spanish exploration and colonization in the Americas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
