This very large magnificent original antique map of Spain & Portugal - dedicated to John Lord Somers - was published by John Senex for his 1712 edition of Elephant Folio Atlas.

These large scale maps are scarce as damage and loss over time was frequent from both handling and difficulty storing safely. (Ref: Tooley; Whitfield; M&B)
