The Battle of Medina De Rio-Seco, Antique Battle Map from Alison's History of Europe Atlas 1789 -1815

This map shows The Battle of Medina De Rio-Seco on 14th July 1808. Depicted are the positions of the French and Spanish; their cavalry, infantry and artillery; coloured blue and green, according to nationality. The hand colouring is original , that is to say it dates to the publication of the atlas in 1875. The sheet measures 11 X 8.75 inches, the actual map from its borders measures approx. 6 X 8 inches. The map is by W. & A.K. Johnston, Edin. and the scale is about 2. inches to the mile.The map is in very good condition, there is some adhesive remaining along the extreme left of the sheet where it was removed from its binding, this is well away from the actual map and would easily disappear when mounted. Otherwise the sheet is mostly quite clean with perhaps the just the odd spot here or there.
