About the Item
The image is an antique map titled "Hispanie Betique et Lusitanie", which depicts the Iberian Peninsula during the Roman times, highlighting the provinces of Hispania Baetica (Betique), Lusitania, and parts of Tarraconensis. These Roman provinces correspond to large parts of modern-day Spain and Portugal.
The map shows a detailed layout of the provinces with Roman settlements, roads, and topographic elements like rivers and mountain ranges. The coastline is intricately detailed, with the Mediterranean Sea labeled as "Mare Internum", the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Cantabrian Sea in the north. Borders of the provinces are demarcated, with Baetica to the south, Lusitania covering the western region, and the northern part of the map hinting at the expanse of Tarraconensis.
The map likely contains labels for important Roman cities, roads (such as the Via Augusta), rivers like the Guadalquivir and Tagus, and mountain ranges such as the Sierra Morena and the Cantabrian Mountains. The cartography style suggests a publication date that could be from the late 18th to early 19th century, a period when there was a renewed interest in classical geography.
The map comes from the work "Atlas Universel de geographie physique et politique, ancienne et moderne" by the geographers Edme Mentelle and Pierre Grégoire Chanlaire, published in Paris. The atlas aimed to provide comprehensive coverage of world geography, both contemporary and historical, which would have been an invaluable resource for scholars and the general public interested in geography and history during that period.
The title cartouche is simple and functional, matching the utilitarian style of the map. The overall aesthetic reflects the Enlightenment ideals of clarity, education, and a deep respect for the classical world, which would have been the guiding principles of the atlas this map was a part of.

Spain and Portugal: A Hand-colored 17th/18th Century Map by Visscher
By Nicolaus Visscher
Located in Alamo, CA
This is an early 18th century map of Spain and Portugal, with attractive original hand-coloring, entitled "Hispaniae et Portugalliae Regna per Nicolaum Visscher cum Privilegio Ordinum Hollandiae et Westfrisiae" first published by Nicolaes Visscher II (1649-1702) in 1688, and later re-published from Visscher's original copper plate by Peter Schenk, Junior in Amsterdam in 1725. The cartouche in the right lower corner depicts a coat of arms representing one combined kingdom of Spain and Portugal before their break-up. Putti hold up the coat-of-arms of Phillip II on the right and a queen reaches for it on the left. There is a scale cartouche in the lower left corner surmounted by two putti and a wheel. This is an outstanding depiction of the Iberian peninsula, showing Spain and Portugal and Balearic Islands. The map includes portions of North Africa and the Strait of Gibralter.
This copperplate engraved map is presented in a cream-colored mat. It is printed on fine chain-linked, laid paper. The mat measures 26.5" high by 30" wide and the sheet measures 21.75" high by 26.375" wide. There is a central fold, as issued. The lower portion of the fold is reinforced on the verso. There is a small paper defect at the lower edge of the fold and another at the edge of the right corner, as well as a few small tears along the lower edge; none affecting the map and all covered by the mat. There are a few small faint spots in the upper margin and on the left. The map is otherwise in very good condition.
The Visscher family were one of the great art and cartographic printing families of the 17th century. Begun by Claes Jansz Visscher...
