Regnum Portugalliae et Algarbiae. (Portugal & Algarve).

Issued 1681, Nuremberg, Germany for Du Val.

Restored/ repaired example.

Uncommon and attractive mid 18th century engraved map with lovely full hand color.

Original fold lines as issued. Map is repaired, but rare enough to warrant consideration as seen.

Upper left corner once torn off and now nicely rejoined on reverse with archival rice paper. Bottom edge slight frayed and. now very nicely backed with old paper casting and manuscript reinstatement to neat line in places.

Overall clean and attractive example, some uniform age browning, the age flaws don't detract visually for us.

Map still displays well and looks great. 

Map sheet measures c.5" H x 4 1/8" W.
