"Carte des Isles de Maiorque Minorque et d'Yvice ", Seutter, Matthias

Fine copper engraved map of the Spanish Balearic Islands based on Bellin, with good detail of towns, roads, and topography on each of the islands. A large inset at bottom center depicts the port and city of Mahon on the island of Menorca, with a lettered key identifying numerous locations. At bottom right is an inset showing the location of the Balearic islands in relation to Spain and the Mediterranean. A decorative title cartouche, a compass rose, and rhumb lines make this a handsome chart. French text below map gives navigational information regarding the islands.
