An Old Map of Spain by John Speed
A fascinating and highly detailed map that includes Portugal which was then under the rule of Spain, (King Phillip ll). The absorbing and entertaining borders to the left and right feature the local dress of the time, whilst the top panel features the first aerial views of the cities of Barcelona ,Cadiz, Granada, Madrid, Toledo and Lisbon. The islands of Iberia, Majorca and Ibiza are included the latter interestingly named the Pyne Islands, adjacent to the Bay of Alicante. The tip of Africa makes an interesting feature at the base of the map.

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!
