Gran Atlas Aguilar

The first comprehensive world atlas of Spanish origin just appeared in the fifties of the past century and was published by Aguilar, S.A. de Ediciones in Madrid: the "Atlas Universal Aguilar " (1954, with 116 pages of maps preceded by an atlas of Spain; five further editions until 1968), but this noticeable work was excelled by the three volume, large-sized "Gran Atlas Aguilar" of the same company (1969/70, 406 pages of geographic and thematic maps), one of the most elaborate works of its kind published so far after World War 2. A concise edition was issued as "Atlas Mundial Gráfico Aguilar " (1976), also published in 1982 by The Kimberley Press , Miami, Fla. as "Webster's New World Atlas ".
