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. Latin text on verso, published in the first edition in 1584.

References: Van den Broecke #31.

Full contemporary color on a lightly toned sheet with a couple of small abrasions near the center and light soiling, much of it confined to the margins.
