This mammoth steel-engraved map of Spain & Portugal would measure approximately 53 x 45" if joined together. It is divided into provinces with a table listing at left. The topography is precisely engraved with a rich three-dimensional effect, particularly in the Pyrenees, Sistema Central, and Sierra Nevada ranges. Other details include cities, scores of towns and villages, roads, rivers, lakes and more with a legend at bottom. Titles, tables and legend are in both French and German. Published in Vienna. Dissected and backed with linen. Housed in a stiff paperboard slipcase with manuscript title on front cover.
