North is oriented to the right on this supremely decorative map of Navarre. The map, roughly centered on Pamplona, follows the Ebro River valley on the left, and extends into France including the coastal city of Bayonne. The title cartouche is surrounded by figures of elaborately attired residents of the region with the accoutrements of war. A number of heraldic crests are scattered throughout the map. Blank verso. The top left corner of the plate broke off around 1662.
