An 18th century copper plate engraved map of Spain and Portugal with attractive original outline hand-coloring entitled "A New And Exact Map Of Spain & Portugal Divided Into Its Kingdoms And Principalities & C., With Ye Principal Roads And Considerable Improvements, The Whole Rectifyd According To Ye.
