Spain & Portugal, Miniature 19th Century American Hand-drawn Ink Map with Tissue Border/Overlay hand-painted metal bookends two of who of whom

Spain & Portugal, Miniature 19th Century American Hand-drawn Ink Map with Tissue Border/Overlay hand-painted metal bookends two of who of whomThere is some writing on the back of the tissue weight paper that frames, backs and flaps down over this hand drawn map of Spain and Portugal a bit hard to read to name of the maker, but the location of its making Wilmington, Delaware, United States is clear. I love a hand drawn map and this a very sweet one, a topographical map, all about the lay of the land, with dots for cities but no named locations, and excellent title lettering along the bottom
