| $350.00 | Wells--Edward | Interesting-antique-map-of-Spain-or-Celtiberia | Highly interesting framed intaglio engraved map of Spain ca. 1700 with names of the provinces of that era. Old color and the engraver's use of bold strokes with large and decorative typefaces makes this antique map a joy to study. The Celtiberians were a group of Celts in the central-eastern Iberian Peninsula ca. 200 BC.
