\u201cRotterdam \u2018Cito\u2019 plan, groote uitgave<\/em><\/strong>\u201d, [Rotterdam \u201cCito\u201d plan, large edition]. Lithographic offset print published in 1935<\/strong> by N.V. \u201cCartographia\u201d H. van Diehlen & Co.<\/strong>, The Hague. Size: 47 \u00d7 62 cm.<\/p>\n

Detailed street plan of Rotterdam and its surroundings, published in the mid-1930s \u2013 on the eve of the destruction of the city centre in May 1940<\/a>. The map shows the street layout, harbours, railway lines, and the network of tram, bus and steam-tram routes, municipal ferries, and steamboats. In addition to the Central Station, the now-disappeared Station Maas (on the site of today\u2019s Tropicana) is also depicted.<\/p>\n

On the left bank of the Maas we see the Waalhaven<\/a>, with Waalhaven Airport to the south and the extensive docklands stretching towards the Maashaven and Rijnhaven; to the north, the Spaanse Polder <\/a>still appears as pastureland, together with Overschie; to the east lie the Kralingse Plas <\/a>and the villa districts of Kralingen<\/a>. The Nieuwe Maas river forms the central axis of the city, with the many ports and quays reflecting the economic prosperity of the interwar years.<\/p>\n

On the reverse is a comprehensive street index, intended for the practical orientation of residents, travellers, and harbour visitors.<\/p>\n

The name \u201cCito-plan\u201d refers to a series of popular city maps published by Van Diehlen & Co. during the 1930s under that brand name. Cito<\/em> (Latin for \u201cquickly\u201d) alluded to the ease of orientation and up-to-date character of these maps, which were issued for numerous Dutch cities in both \u201cLarge\u201d and \u201cSmall\u201d editions and widely distributed through bookshops and kiosks.<\/p>\n
