A fine example of the second state of this map with the stippling extended to between the letters in the sea. The map is ultimately derived from the six-sheet map of Spain by Clusius which first appeared in 1571. This example with Latin text to the verso was published in the ‘Parergon’ in 1624. Meurer p. 127-9; Van der Broecke 193.ii.
