This small map of the Iberian Peninsula is filled with an amazing amount of detail for its size. A charming cartouche composed of tree branches surrounds the title. This map was originally published by Hendrik de Leth circa 1740, who had copied Jacques Chiquet's maps from 1719. De Leth's maps were acquired by Nicholaes Theodorus Gravius, who used them in Gerrit Brender a Brandis' Nieuwe Natuur-Geschieden Handelkundige Zak-En Reis-Atlas.
