Kaart van Portugal 1700 - 1735

This anonymous map, created between 1700 and 1735, depicts the Kingdom of Portugal and Algarve. It presents a detailed geographical representation of the region, using different colors to distinguish various provinces and geographic features. The map's ornate border, characterized by decorative eight-pointed stars, adds a visual flair. The presence of these stars along with the inclusion of a cityscape view below the main map suggests a possible connection to a larger atlas or book. This map provides valuable insight into the cartographic understanding and visual aesthetics of early 18th-century Portugal.
