Moll's large-format map of Spain and Portugal, published in 1711, during the War of the Spanish Succession. A decorative cartouche surrounds a dedication to the Duke of Argyll, the 'General of Her Majesty's Forces in Spain', and the battles of Gibraltar and Fort Mahon are both marked, recent victories for the English.
Also of interest is the 'Advertisment', containing one of Moll's famous attacks on his competitors. It starts: 'Among all ye Cheats that ye world are dayly abus'd with, none have lately been more Scandalous than that of Maps'.
