VArroyo Map

Map viewer on 152 broadsheets

Using the broadsheet catalogue used for the study of the Vanegas Arroyo prints, the LACIPI team looked for geographical references in the texts of the 152 broadsheets in order to locate these on a map that, on occasions, could provide different versions of the prints in question. We also indicate the different locations of the print shops and the offices that Vanegas Arroyo occupied during his active period in Mexico City.

Search on the VArrroyo Map

In order to offer a complete online access to the map, we display it on the present webpage by means of the Google My Maps tool, which yields optimal if somewhat limited consultation and edition options. For this reason we must present it in two parts: one dedicated to the news titles and another to all the other titles.

See the section “Alternative search” hereunder, which gives access to a KML archive that allows to upload the map to Google Earth, a viewer that enables the display of the VArroyo map and presents both the news and the non-news titles.

Note: it is convenient to consult the maps in full-screen mode following these links:

Notes

The team used Google Earth (Pro) to link the geographic coordinates with the printed items of the LACIPI database, through which we generated the KML file Archivo:MAPA_HV_AVA_-_LACIPI_AGOSTO_2021_-_GEarth_Web.zip which stands as the map viewer provided to be downloaded in either the web or desktop version of Google Earth.

The selection of the 152 broadsheets considered three items with geographical references to Spain and Italy; it is therefore advisable to manipulate the map viewer to keep the in view. The users can refer to the “Approximation for a possible classification” on the page concerning broadsheets of this website to consult the thematic classification followed when elaborating the map.

A previous version of the map viewer can still be accessed in Ptos_literartura-IVArroyo.kml. This version was made with 45 printed items around the year 2014 by the members of LACIPI in collaboration with Ivan Franch.
