An original 1851 engraved attractive engraved map Spain and Portugal engraved by J.Rapkin and published by John Tallis in 1851. The title reads simply Spain and Portugal . The map is in excellent condition and has been attractively and professionally hand coloured. It is a very attractive map and includes several hand coloured vignettes and armorials. There is a neat central vertical crease as is usual on all of these maps (they would originally have been bound into an atlas). The map is not laid down. The map sheet measures 27 x 36 cm (approx. 10.5 x 14 inches). I will provide a mount (as pictured) and backing board cut from conservation acid-free mountboard for an additional £15. The map will then be ready for framing. I can also frame the map to any style if you would like - please contact me after purchase to discuss this. This is an original engraved map printed in 1851. I never sell modern reproductions. Please contact me if you have any further questions! Please note that the pictured mount is not included and only available for an additional £15. This is because some buyers will prefer to arrange their own mounts and frames.
