This handsome map depicts the central and western coastal regions of Mexico. This map of New Spain covers the Pacific coast from present-day Acapulco to about Mazatlan and inland to Mexico City, which is situated on a large lake. Several gold and silver mines are located in the central region. The map is beautifully embellished with three ornate strapwork cartouches, a sailing ship, and a sea monster. Latin text on verso.

An excellent impression with full original color and several centerfold separations that have been closed on verso with archival materials. There is a stain in the top left corner of the sheet and an archivally repaired tear in right blank margin, both well away from image.
