"Andaluziae Nova Descript. ", Mercator/Hondius

Handsome map of the region surrounding Seville including, Cadiz, Gibraltar and Spain's popular Costa del Sol. In 1606 Jodocus Hondius acquired the copperplates of Mercator's Atlas, to which he added thirty-seven of his own compositions, and republished this enormously influential atlas. This map strongly reflects Mercator's style with the moiré style engraving to denote the oceans and the large cartouches of interlocking strap design. French text on verso, published in 1619.
