1846 Lowenberg Whimsical Map of Spain and Portugal

A delightfully whimsical 1846 map of Spain and Portugal, from a German kinderatlas or children's atlas. The map details Spain and Portugal. The whole is surrounded by a wide border featuring charming vignettes meant to illustrate the peoples and cultures of the region. These include a matador fighting a bull, a couple performing the flamenco etc. The map is accompanied by its adjacent page, which includes a poetic history of the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal in German gothic type. The wonderful and rare map was drawn by Anst. V A. Boeden of Berlin for inclusion as plate no. III in the 1846 issue of Julius Loewenberg's Geographische Landerfibel.
