Engraved additional title, portrait of Charles II of Spain, 19 engraved plates and maps on 18 sheets including 13 folding or double-page, numerous engraved illustrations and woodcuts including one full page (browned, some marginal tears of which some repaired with some minor loss such as on L1, L4, M1, large folding plate repaired at folds). 18th-century speckled calf, gilt panels and spine (expertly rebacked preserving original spine, corners restored); preserved within modern case.
