Title: Map of Spain and Portugal – Nieuwe Hand-Atlas by Frijlink
van Otterloo, 1876
Description:
This detailed 19th-century map, titled “Spanje en Portugal,” was published in 1876 in the Nieuwe Hand-Atlas der Aarde in haren Tegenwoordigen Toestand by M. Frijlink, revised by A. van Otterloo, and printed by D. Noothoven van Goor in Leiden. The map presents the Iberian Peninsula in exceptional detail, featuring the political and physical geography of Spain and Portugal during the late 19th century, rendered in fine Dutch cartographic style.
Each province is outlined in distinct hand-colored borders—red for Portugal, blue for the interior Spanish provinces, and yellow along key boundaries. The map includes the Balearic Islands, Gibraltar, and adjacent portions of North Africa. Insets provide close-up views of Lisbon (*Lissabon en Omstreken*) and the Strait of Gibraltar, along with a comparative scale chart showing Spain’s position relative to European latitudes. Rivers, mountain ranges, and major roads are carefully engraved, while cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, and Porto are clearly marked.
This plate reflects both educational precision and aesthetic craftsmanship. It served as a reference for geography education in Dutch schools, combining scientific accuracy with elegant lithographic execution. The atlas from which it originates—Frijlink’s *Nieuwe Hand-Atlas*—was among the most comprehensive of its era, featuring maps engraved by leading Dutch cartographers and printed with high production standards.

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...
