Spain Title: Hispaniae Antiquae Tabula. Authore N. Sanson ChristianiB. Gall. Regis Geographo A. 1704. Apud Autorem in Aedibus Regiis Chez le Sr. Sanson Aux Galleries du Louvre. Avec Privilege du Roy. Cartographer: Sanson, Nicolas d'Abbeville Published: Paris, N. Sanson, Date: 1704 Size: [41 x 52,5 cm] Technic: Copper engraving / Original color. Description: Copper engraving, hand colored in outline when published. Interesting and detailed map of 'Antique Spain' with Portugal and the Balearic Islands by the French cartographer Nicolaus Sanson d'Abbeville. The map provides us a lot of information of the various place names of cities and small towns, the rivers, mountains and also engraved borders of the various Spanish provinces. The map impresses with the geographic exactness, which is typical for the French cartographer Nicolaus Sanson. In the decorative cartouche, which is in shape of a seashell, we find the altered date '1704', which is a relatively late edition for maps by N. Sanson. The map is probably published in a French composit atlas around this date. Notes: In very good condition, a slightly creasing in the lower part of the centrefold with minor tiny spots. Condition: VG Reference: Price: /
