This early nineteenth-century folio sheet, published in Philadelphia by M. Carey & Son for Lavoisne's Historical Atlas, features a central hand-colored map of the Iberian Peninsula surrounded by dense encyclopedic text panels. The map delineates the historic kingdoms and provinces of Spain and Portugal with delicate outline coloring, illustrating topographical features, principal rivers, major cities, and coastal geography across the peninsula and neighboring Balearic Islands. Flanking the central map are detailed statistical and geographic accounts covering the climate, natural history, government, religion, commerce, and colonial possessions of both Spain and Portugal. Beneath the cartographic view is an extensive chronological index titled 'Places Remarkable for Battles and Sieges in Spain', recording key military engagements from the early medieval conflicts against the Moors through the Peninsular War campaigns of the Napoleonic era.
