Antique Map of Spain and Portugal, 1903, Featuring Regional Boundaries and Coastal Detail
Description: This antique map, titled "Spain & Portugal," was engraved and published in 1903 by W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It offers a finely detailed and colorful representation of the Iberian Peninsula during the early 20th century, capturing the rich geography and political divisions of Spain and Portugal.
The map is meticulously engraved, with distinct pastel shades of green, yellow, pink, and blue highlighting the various provinces and administrative regions. From the rugged coastlines of Galicia and the Bay of Biscay to the sun-drenched shores of Andalusia and the Mediterranean, this map’s detail and artistry bring the entire Iberian Peninsula to life. Major cities like Madrid, Lisbon, Barcelona, and Seville are all clearly marked, alongside an intricate network of railways and roads that exemplify the region’s connectivity during this period of growth and modernization.
Of special note are the Balearic Islands—Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza—shown in crisp detail off the eastern coast of Spain, adding further maritime interest to this beautiful piece. The map’s precise linework, delicate typography, and refined color palette reflect the exceptional skill of the Johnston cartographic team.
For collectors, historians, and those with a passion for Spanish and Portuguese heritage, this map offers a captivating glimpse into the past, encapsulating the cultural richness and natural beauty of the Iberian Peninsula at a time of significant political and social evolution.

Spain and Portugal: A Hand-colored 17th/18th Century Map by Visscher
By Nicolaus Visscher
Located in Alamo, CA
This is an early 18th century map of Spain and Portugal, with attractive original hand-coloring, entitled "Hispaniae et Portugalliae Regna per Nicolaum Visscher cum Privilegio Ordinum Hollandiae et Westfrisiae" first published by Nicolaes Visscher II (1649-1702) in 1688, and later re-published from Visscher's original copper plate by Peter Schenk, Junior in Amsterdam in 1725. The cartouche in the right lower corner depicts a coat of arms representing one combined kingdom of Spain and Portugal before their break-up. Putti hold up the coat-of-arms of Phillip II on the right and a queen reaches for it on the left. There is a scale cartouche in the lower left corner surmounted by two putti and a wheel. This is an outstanding depiction of the Iberian peninsula, showing Spain and Portugal and Balearic Islands. The map includes portions of North Africa and the Strait of Gibralter.
This copperplate engraved map is presented in a cream-colored mat. It is printed on fine chain-linked, laid paper. The mat measures 26.5" high by 30" wide and the sheet measures 21.75" high by 26.375" wide. There is a central fold, as issued. The lower portion of the fold is reinforced on the verso. There is a small paper defect at the lower edge of the fold and another at the edge of the right corner, as well as a few small tears along the lower edge; none affecting the map and all covered by the mat. There are a few small faint spots in the upper margin and on the left. The map is otherwise in very good condition.
