"A New and Accurate Map of Portugal Composed from the Latest Improvemts. and Adjusted by the Most Authentic Astronl. Observats.", Bowen, Emanuel

This handsome map of Portugal shows provinces, towns and cities, mountains, rivers, and roads. A note at top right credits some of the cartographic information to "an English Chart lately Published entitled The Seat of War in the Ocean & Mediterran Sea: And also to the Draughts of the Pilots of Marseilles &c." The decorative title cartouche incorporates the Portuguese coat of arms and a scale of English miles. There is a compass rose in the Atlantic.
