{"product_id":"old-city-plan-map-of-monaco-1914","title":"Old city plan map of Monaco, 1914","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThis elegant early twentieth-century view of Monaco, dating from 1914, captures the extraordinary character of the tiny Mediterranean principality at a moment when it had already established itself as one of Europe’s most fashionable destinations. Perched dramatically between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, Monaco is presented as a remarkable combination of rugged landscape, refined architecture, and sophisticated coastal development.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition highlights the distinctive geography of the principality. Steep slopes descend toward the brilliant Mediterranean, while the densely built urban areas demonstrate how intensively the limited territory had been developed. The historic Rock of Monaco, with the Prince’s Palace and the old town of Monaco-Ville, forms the historic heart of the scene. Around it, the more modern districts extend along the coastline, reflecting Monaco’s transformation during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1914, Monaco was internationally associated with luxury, tourism, and the famous Casino de Monte-Carlo. The arrival of the railway in the nineteenth century had made the principality increasingly accessible to wealthy European travelers, while grand hotels, villas, gardens, and entertainment establishments contributed to its reputation as an exclusive resort. The surrounding mountains and dramatic coastline further enhanced its appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1914 depiction is particularly valuable for its historical character. It records Monaco before the profound urban and architectural changes that would take place throughout the twentieth century, preserving a visual impression of its landscape during the Belle Époque and immediately before the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs both a decorative image and a historical document, the map\/view offers an evocative glimpse into Monaco’s early modern development, making it especially appealing to collectors interested in Mediterranean history, European resorts, travel, architecture, and the evolution of the Riviera.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintsXXL","offers":[{"title":"canvas \/ 23''x34''(58x87)","offer_id":53496733532426,"sku":"195500","price":73.78,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 27''x40''(68x102)","offer_id":53496733565194,"sku":"195500","price":84.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 31''x46''(78x118)","offer_id":53496733597962,"sku":"195500","price":114.24,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 35''x52''(88x133)","offer_id":53496733630730,"sku":"195500","price":138.04,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 39''x58''(98x148)","offer_id":53496733663498,"sku":"195500","price":147.56,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 41''x62''(104x157)","offer_id":53496733696266,"sku":"195500","price":161.84,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 16''x24''(40x62)","offer_id":53496733729034,"sku":"195500","price":59.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 19''x28''(48x72)","offer_id":53496733761802,"sku":"195500","price":63.07,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 23''x34''(58x87)","offer_id":53496733794570,"sku":"195500","price":71.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 27''x40''(68x102)","offer_id":53496733827338,"sku":"195500","price":79.73,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 31''x46''(78x118)","offer_id":53496733860106,"sku":"195500","price":105.91,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 35''x52''(88x133)","offer_id":53496733892874,"sku":"195500","price":127.33,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 39''x58''(98x148)","offer_id":53496733925642,"sku":"195500","price":133.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 41''x62''(104x157)","offer_id":53496733958410,"sku":"195500","price":146.37,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 16''x24''(40x62)","offer_id":53496733991178,"sku":"195500","price":55.93,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 19''x28''(48x72)","offer_id":53496734023946,"sku":"195500","price":59.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 23''x34''(58x87)","offer_id":53496734056714,"sku":"195500","price":67.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 27''x40''(68x102)","offer_id":53496734089482,"sku":"195500","price":76.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 31''x46''(78x118)","offer_id":53496734122250,"sku":"195500","price":102.34,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 35''x52''(88x133)","offer_id":53496734155018,"sku":"195500","price":123.76,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 39''x58''(98x148)","offer_id":53496734187786,"sku":"195500","price":129.71,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 41''x62''(104x157)","offer_id":53496734220554,"sku":"195500","price":142.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/9656\/3466\/files\/195500.jpg?v=1786216368","url":"https:\/\/printsxxl.com\/nl\/products\/old-city-plan-map-of-monaco-1914","provider":"PrintsXXL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
