A large, two-sheet map of the Iberian Peninsula with Portugal, Spain and the Balearic Islands. Exceptionally detailed, the map is divided into principalities and royal regions. The map is adorned with three lovely, baroque cartouches; the dedication cartouche is surrounded by trumpets, sea monsters, and putti. An alternate title appears above the map: "L'Espagne Distinguee en tous ses Royaumes, Principautes &c." Printed on two sheets, joined.
