Price range: £39.95 through £59.95
Old Map of Spain, Portugal and Andorra by Giuseppe Rodini, 1847
Rodini’s Italian map brings the Iberian Peninsula into a single finely engraved view, from Portugal’s Atlantic coast to the Balearic Islands and the Pyrenees. Coloured boundaries divide the regions, while mountains, rivers and towns fill the interior. Andorra appears within this wider setting and is named in the original title. Published in Naples in 1847, the map makes an attractive fine art print for anyone with connections to Spain, Portugal or the Pyrenees. Supplied unframed.

Fine Art Map Reproductions – Museum-Quality Printing
Unlike most online offerings, our maps are produced entirely in-house, not outsourced to print-on-demand or drop-shipping services. This allows complete control over quality while offering better value. Each map begins with a high-resolution original, carefully enhanced and printed to order using archival papers and pigment inks for exceptional clarity, depth, and longevity. Every piece is personally overseen — no map leaves our workshop unless it is of a quality we would be proud to display ourselves.
Authentic Old Map Paper & Accurate Colour Reproduction
Paper choice is essential to the authenticity of our maps. We use specially sourced 190gsm paper made in the UK from pure materials and traditionally pressed with natural woollen felts. This process creates a subtle, randomly textured surface that closely resembles an original antique document. Likewise the use of premium quality ink fully saturates the paper, producing remarkable clarity, depth, and historical character. Colour fastness and sharpness will remain good for in excess of 100 years!

Historical Background
Giuseppe Rodini’s Carta Generale della Spagna del Portogallo e della Repubblica di Andorra is a general map of the Iberian Peninsula. Its Naples imprint is dated 1847, and the language of the sheet is Italian. The inclusion of Andorra in the title is noteworthy, but most of the map is devoted to Spain and Portugal rather than a detailed survey of the small Pyrenean state.
Map Details
- Original title: Carta Generale della Spagna del Portogallo e della Repubblica di Andorra
- Cartographer and publisher: Giuseppe Rodini
- Place and map date: Naples, 1847
- Coverage: Spain, Portugal, Andorra and the Balearic Islands
- Visible features: Coloured boundaries, mountain relief and a circular inset
The Pyrenees form a shaded band along the northern border, with southern France beyond. Across the peninsula, major rivers and mountain chains sit among a dense network of named towns. Portugal’s long Atlantic frontage contrasts with Spain’s Mediterranean coast, where the Balearic Islands occupy the open water to the east.
Italian labels give the geography a distinctive voice: Spagna, Portogallo and Mare Mediterraneo appear prominently. The coloured boundaries help separate regions without obscuring the fine black engraving, and the small circular inset provides an additional detail within the lower margin.
The broad coverage allows places with very different landscapes to share one composition: the Atlantic shore, the mountainous interior and the Mediterranean islands. A formal border and carefully arranged title keep the dense geography readable. The reproduction preserves this balance of fine lettering, engraved terrain and restrained colour.
