This lovely depiction of the Spanish region of Aragon is focused on the capitol of Caragoca (Zaragoza), with north oriented to the right. The map displays finely engraved pictorial topography. Two decorative cartouches festooned with putti complete the composition. The region's coat-of-arms adorns the distance scale cartouche at bottom left.

A nice impression with contemporary color, light offsetting, and marginal toning. There is a 1.25" centerfold separation in the bottom blank margin that has been closed on verso with archival materials.
