Spain-Portugal – Valk (Valck), Gerard (1651/52 – Amsterdam 1726). Regna Hispaniarum atque Portugalliae: Ex recenti, summâ curâ punctorum charactere, Suas in Provincias, Territoria et Dioeceses; Geographicè, Politicè, Ecclesiasticè. With splendid decorated title- (25.5 x 32.5 cm) and dedication-cartouche (16.5 x 20.5 cm), both with Spanish-German and French-Italian miles indicator resp., a small separate map of Minorca (8.5 x 9 cm), and conventional signs. Colored wall-map engraved on 4 joined sheets. 1704. 97.5 x 115.5 cm.

Not in Koeman (1969) + Phillips (1909-1963), unknown to Tooley’s Dictionary (1979, there are only the wall-maps of world and continents of 1680; the Asia map mentioned in IMAGO MUNDI XXXV, p. 31 break 2 as “ca. 1700”). – Whether it perhaps has been contained in the 6 vols. Valk-Atlas Nova totius geographica telluris projecto of ca. 1717 “with (its) 508 maps far larger than any recorded by Koeman” – Sotheby’s London April 4, 1989, lot. 199 – must be left undecided. Also if the description of the British Library signature 18185 (12) concerns this map because is it not marked as a four sheet map as done in comparable cases. So, e.g., as to the Spain wall-map by Mortier K. 71.21, which is preceded by a later one with the same title, but without such addition, under 18315 (4). But also Valk’s wall-map set of world and continents emphatically recorded with their measures. – Apart from that

of international Notable Acquisitions and Unusual Items that have come up for Sale resp. in I. M. The only one wall-map of the Iberian Peninsula there the Gastaldi map of 1544; known otherwise a copy of the already mentioned Mortier wall-map of ca. 1704-06 sold here more than twenty years ago into a Rhenish collection and after its reacquisition at once to a public library in 1993. Interesting especially while the statements of its cartouches follow those of Valk’s map offered here. In such a manner then not only a

CARTOGRAPHIC  RARITY  OF  THE  HIGHEST  ORDER

but also thematically with reference to the Spanish War of Succession

of  eminently  historical  affair :

in 1704 as the remarkable war year also in regard of other events the prospective Charles VI disembarked first in Lisbon, then in Catalonia, “after he has been proclaimed as Charles III to be King of Spain in Vienna in 1703” (Meyer’s Konvers.-Lex., 4th ed., vol. IX, p. 518). This event the map dedication follows :

“ PRINCIPI  CAROLO  LEOPOLDI  CAESARIS
Filio,  secundò  genito;
IMPERATORVM  MAGNO,  et  QVINTO  …
Totus  dum  Acclamat  Orbis;
VIVat  HIspanorVM,.  Penes  EVropeos,  InDos  et  VtrosqVe,
TertIVs  ReX  CaroLVs!

The date also given first – as in context with maps very scarce – as chronogram, then repeated with the fine leap-year reference “Annô hôc intercalari MDCCIIII”.

The map itself

highly  decorative

though the cartouches remained uncolored as widely timely and as it is supported also by the Atlas of the Great Elector. Drawn in and to mention as an early example the road net ( “‘s Heeren ofte Groote Weegen” ).

On heavy paper of perfect freshness and impeccable condition except for a few mostly quite tiny repaired tears in the 3-3,5 cm wide white margins. Centre and three long folds, one of them with a repaired finely little break.
