Three maps elegantly composed on one folio sheet. The semicircular map of Cadiz is taken from a manuscript map drawn by George Hoefnagel during his stay from 1563-1567. The Carpetaniae map is very accurate but from an unknown source. The source of the Guipuscae map is also unknown, but de Jode also published it in 1578. This is a French edition published in 1587.

References: Van den Broecke #31.

Condition: A

There is a small repair made with tissue in the upper right blank margin away from the image, else fine.

Estimate: $300 - $400
