Beautifully decorated map of the southern portion of the Aragon region, based on the cartography of the Portuguese mapmaker Juan Bautista Labana (1555-1624). The map is centered approximately on Teruel and shows the mountainous topography in the region. The map is adorned with two cartouches featuring putti and cherubs. Petrus Schenk acquired the plate from Jansson's heirs and reissued the map with the imprint of his publishing partnership and with the addition of lines of latitude and longitude. Blank verso.
