A satirical map of Spain & Portugal

Anthropomorphic map of Spain & Portugal. The text below the image reads: ''These long divided nations soon may be, By Prims' grace, joined in lasting amity. And ladies fair - if King Fernando rules, Grow grapes in peace, and fatten their pet mules''. The map was drawn by Lilian Lancaster Tennant (1852-1939) for 'Geographical Fun', a charming atlas of caricature maps of European counties, drawn (according to the preface) by a fifteen-year-old girl to amuse her sick brother. The author of the text was William Harvey (1796-1873), a London doctor and journalist, best-known for his book 'London Scenes and London People', 1863. Her maps contain many references to the political changes sweeping through continental Europe, with representations of Garibaldi and Bismarck.
