This anonymous map of Spain from the early 18th century, titled "Le Royaume d'Espagne avec ses confins", depicts the Iberian Peninsula and its surrounding waters. The map uses a mix of colors, including pink for Spain, green for Portugal, and blue for the seas. It highlights major cities and geographic features with clear labels and incorporates a scale along the bottom. The map's detail provides insight into the cartographic knowledge of the time. The presence of numerous heraldic coats of arms on the side borders, likely of Spanish regions, adds a decorative and historical element. The map's title and detailed features make it valuable for studying the history of cartography, European territorial divisions, and early 18th-century cartographic practices.
