A splendid plate of coastal views of parts of the Balearic and adjacent African coast. Tofino(1732-1795) is the best known Spanish Marine cartographer. His Atlas Maritimo established the prime meridian (0 degrees) at Cadiz rather than Greenwich.

Very good condition. Some very faint waterstaining on lower edge, affecting lower edge of plate only, otherwise very crisp and clean.
