Attractive original antique hand-colored map of the Bay of Roses, in northernmost Catalonia. Showing a fine style, the city of Roses and its associated castle is shown, as are soundings at sea and the mouth of the Eiboria River. This map predates the development of L'Escala and the canaled city of Empuriabrava. Focus is given to Roses as this city provides a strong defense for an important harbor in the region.
Luffman's Select Plans is an uncommon traveler's guide that served to educate the intrepid traveler regarding any part of the world, from the major cities of Europe to the wild coasts of the Spice Islands. Each of Luffman's maps contained detailed coastal descriptions showing the major landmarks and cities, as well as basic but necessary navigational information. This plate appeared in the second of Luffman's two volumes.
