Handsome chart of eastern part of the southern Spanish coast, with the island of Minorca just showing on lower edge. 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. Lower edge slightly chipped with closed tear, not affecting image.
