Ancienne Espagne.

(Old Prints, Mallet Prints, Europe, Iberia, Spain, Roman Empire, Balearic Islands, Hispania).

Issued 1686, Paris, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 17th century copper engraved map with lovely hand color. On a single sheet as issued, map was engraved on two plates.

The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason.

Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a pleasing age patina.

Sheet measures c. 8" H x 12 1/4" W.

Printed areas measure c. 6" H x 4 1/2" W.
