Island Of Cyprus
vintage illustrated map of the Island of Cyprus, commonly found on items like postcards and travel posters from the mid-20th century, specifically the 1930s to 1960s. This illustration highlights the island's geography, including the Troodos and Kyrenia mountain ranges, with small decorative images of local symbols or landmarks around the border.
Map Details
Style: The map uses a stylized, retro illustration aesthetic with distinct yellow, green, and reddish-brown colors to show relief and fertile areas.
Geography: It depicts the key geographical features of the island, which is the third largest in the Mediterranean Sea.
The prominent reddish area in the southwest represents the Troodos Mountains, which contain Mount Olympus, the island's highest peak.
A flatter central area, the Mesaoria Plain, runs between the mountain ranges and is the main agricultural area.
Historical Context: Cyprus was a British crown colony from 1925 until its independence in 1960. Maps and souvenirs like this were common during that period to promote tourism, often referring to Cyprus as the "Island of Venus" or "Island of Aphrodite", as it is the legendary birthplace of the Greek goddess of love.
