This striking map of the whole of Portugal and the contiguous parts of Spain extends as far east as Salamanca and Seville. The map is finely detailed with the locations of towns of various sizes, political boundaries, and topography. It is decorated with a fine drape-style title cartouche held aloft by putti and a coat of arms. The map is oriented with north to the right by a decorative compass rose.
