Double page map of Portugal, from Rizzi-Zannoni, the Royal Georgapher of France. One of the most highly detailed large format maps of Portugal published in a commercial atlas during the period.

The other depicts from Lisbon to Gibraltar and from the Atlantic Ocean to Andorra, Spain. A large decorative title cartouche depicting the heraldic crests Portugal and the Algarve appears in the lower left corner.
These maps are two of the most highly detailed maps of northen and southern Portugal to appear in the late 18th century.
Includes exceptional detail, showing towns, roads, rivers, mountains, lakes, and many other minor details. The engraving style is uniquely topographical for the period. Decorative cartouche in original color.
A fine wide margined example, in full original colour. Published in Paris by Lattrè.
