Antique Map of Spain & Portugal (1814) — James Playfair, A New General Atlas, Edinburgh

Engraved in London and published in Edinburgh in 1814, this finely detailed map of Spain and Portugal was issued for Dr. James Playfair’s New General Atlas.
It depicts the Iberian Peninsula in the early 19th century, with delicate hachures showing the relief of mountain ranges and rivers meticulously drawn across the landscape.

Created during a period of intense geopolitical change following the Napoleonic Wars, the map captures the geography of the region just as modern boundaries were being restored.
Engraved by B. Smith and drawn by N. Coltman, it reflects the precision and elegance characteristic of early 19th-century British cartography.

Restored and printed on archival paper, this work offers a timeless portrayal of Spain and Portugal during the post-Napoleonic era, where art, science, and history meet on the mapmaker’s plate.
