What sets this map apart is its lower border, decorated with an extraordinary series of hand-colored engraved roundels depicting ancient Roman and Iberian coins — a hallmark of Weigel's numismatic map series — alongside a mock stone tablet bearing the title.

Comes from Weigel's atlas “Descriptio orbis antiqui in XLIV. Tabulis exhibita a Jo. Davide Koelero Hist. et polit. P.P. altdorfino studio atque opera Christophori Weigelii Norimbergae...“ published by Johann David Köhler, in Nuremberg 1718.

The post 1718 – J. C. Weigel – Hispania appeared first on Antique Maps.

Description:

Very decorative map of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) showing the historical kingdoms and regions of Hispania. The map covers the entire peninsula including all major territorial divisions: Gallaecia, Asturias, León, Castilla Vetus, Castilla Nueva, Aragonia, Catalonia, Valencia, Granada, Andalusia, and Portugal. Inset maps show the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera) and the North African coast. Based on the cartographic work of Rodrigo Méndez Silva.

The upper right corner features an ornate baroque cartouche with allegorical figures and cherubs framing the title, a hallmark of mid-18th-century German cartographic design. Each historical region is outlined and hand-colored in soft pastels—greens, pinks, and yellows—distinguishing the various kingdoms.

The map comes from the atlas „Atlas Géographique de cent et huit cartes générales et spéciales / par les géographes Tobie Conrad Lotter, Matthieu Seutter, et Jan-Michel Probst a Augsburg et par les Heritiers de Homan ...″ engraved by Georg Friedrich Lotter, published in Nurnberg, circa 1750.

Description:

The imaginary view of England and Spain by Hartmann Schedel from the Latin edition of the "Liber chronicarum" published in 1493.

Recto depicts an imaginary, stylized medieval cityscape meant to represent England or London. Because production costs were high, the chronicle's creators repeatedly recycled the same woodcut blocks to illustrate different locations throughout the book.

Verso features a detailed, stylized woodcut view of a fortified European city intended to represent Spain (Hispania).

Page number: CCLXXXVIIII

The Nuremberg Chronicles was the first printed history of the known world with about 2000 woodcuts the most picturesque work of the early time of printing. It became one of the most popular books of the 15th. century. The woodblock cutters were Michael Wolgemut, teacher of Albrecht Dürer and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. The printing was carried out under the supervision of the great scholar-printer Anton Koberger.
