Frederick De Wit. “Novissima et Accuratissima Regnorum Hispaniae et Portugalliae.” 

Amsterdam: F. De Wit, ca. 1680. 19 1/2 x 23.  Engraving.  Original hand color.  Some minor wear along centerfold and a few repaired tears.  Overall, very good condition.

A lovely seventeenth century map of the entire Iberian peninsula by Frederick de Wit.  De Wit followed in the footsteps of the earlier Dutch cartographic publishers Jansson and Blaeu, and like them, he issued maps known for their beautiful engraving and hand coloring.  Detail is dense and accurate, but it is for the aesthetic features that this map most shines.  The original hand color is carefully applied and enhances the elaborate title cartouche in the lower left corner.  A most decorative and informative map.
