This mid-19th-century map depicts the Iberian Peninsula, encompassing the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal, alongside the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Published by Johnson and Ward during the American Civil War era, the map features detailed regional delineations, topographies, river systems, and major towns marked across both nations. Original hand coloring in pastel shades of pink, yellow, green, and olive distinguishes the historical provinces and administrative districts. In the lower right corner, a detailed inset map illustrates the strategic fortress and territory of Gibraltar, highlighting its naval importance during the period. The sheet is framed by Johnson's characteristic decorative fretwork border with corner rosettes, typical of his celebrated family atlases published in New York during the 1860s.
