This miniature map of Portugal is divided into provinces and depicts major towns and key topographical features. This is the second state with more nomenclature added. Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson's nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson.

A nice impression with contemporary outline color in the map and later color in the cartouche, on watermarked paper with light offsetting and toning.
