This is a very finely drawn manuscript map of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the coast of Morocco. Ceuta's strategic location on the Strait of Gibraltar has made it a crucial waypoint of many a culture's trade and military ventures. The fortifications are rendered in great detail with a key at bottom listing 30 important sites. Drawn in ink and hand colored with water color. Size includes Spanish text and key below map, which measures 28 x 10".
