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. French text on verso.

References: Van den Broecke #31.

Condition: A

A nice impression on paper with a horn watermark, a few small worm holes outside the engraved image, and light toning along the edges of the sheet. An old manuscript page number is in the bottom blank margin.
