El Salvador's volcanoes, its capital and its Pacific coast are the heart of this collection, which later turns to the flags and arms of the republic. The antique maps examine San Salvador and Santa Tecla, Lake Ilopango and the volcanic chains of the east and west, with population mapping adding a human dimension and Central American sheets placing the country among its neighbours. Among the prints are the port of La Libertad, the cathedral of San Salvador and volcanic features at Ilopango and Ahuachapán, while later flag plates, reaching into the twentieth century, record arms, ensigns and presidential emblems.
