Antique Map of Spain and Portugal – Hand-Colored Engraving by Stülpnagel, 1857
Fine 19th-century engraved map of the Iberian Peninsula titled "Spanien und Portugal", designed by F. von Stülpnagel and published by Justus Perthes in Gotha in 1857. This detailed and beautifully hand-colored map provides an accurate depiction of Spain and Portugal during a period of complex internal divisions and regional identities.
The map covers the entire Iberian Peninsula, including mainland Spain and Portugal, as well as the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean and a portion of North Africa at the southern edge. Political boundaries between the provinces are delicately outlined in hand-applied colors, with careful attention to natural features such as rivers, mountain ranges, and coastlines. Major cities—such as Madrid, Lisbon, Seville, Barcelona, and Valencia—are clearly labeled, alongside hundreds of smaller towns and regional centers.
A classification of the Spanish administrative divisions is provided in the lower right corner, identifying regions such as Castile, Andalusia, Aragon, Catalonia, Galicia, and the Basque Provinces. The map also includes a mileage scale and inset longitude grid referencing the Ferro meridian.
The topographical engraving is particularly fine, with shaded relief indicating the mountainous terrain of the Pyrenees and the central Meseta. The clarity and density of place names underscore the scholarly precision of the cartographer, making this map valuable not only for decorative purposes but also for historical research.
Produced by the renowned publishing house Justus Perthes and the distinguished German geographer Stülpnagel, this map is a prime example of 19th-century German cartography and remains a striking representation of Iberian geography before the rise of modern infrastructure.

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.
