This small engraving of Spain and Portugal is on the title page to the third part of Linschoten’s very important ‘Itinerario’. This work was based on his service in Goa under the Portuguese between 1583 and 1588. It proved very influential as it introduced unknown Portuguese cartography to the world. This example is from the first edition of 1596 so dated below and published by Cornelis Claesz. Shirley BL G.Lin 1a no.12.
