This distinctive French map of Cape Verde, Senegal and Gorée Island probably dates to the first half of the eighteenth century. While the Portuguese were the first European settlers in this area dating from ca. 1450, French and English pirates and merchants from the sixteenth century asserted increasing influence. In 1633, the French established the Senegal Company there which was based on the gum and slave trades. Most prominently featured on the map are structures on Gorée Island depicting the renowned "factory" or slave trading center. Map includes coastline, coastal features, soundings, shoals, settlements (including Rufisque) and pictorial representation of relief; map also includes a brief keyed legend indicating various information such as "endroit ou on fait le bois" and "Endroit ou en fait l'eau". Map is oriented with west at top. This map is among several distinctive French maps described in this publication that use the same colors and manner of presentation. They date from the first half of the eighteenth century and are part of a collection of materials possibly commissioned by the Spanish Navy. They are part of the G&M Division's collection from the Real Escuela de Navegación, Cadiz, Spain purchased from Maggs Brothers, London.

A wooded area north of Madrid known as El Pardo had been dedicated to Spanish monarchs since the late Middle Ages. Henry III began the construction of a "pabellón de caza" (hunting lodge) in 1405. In 1543, Charles V ordered the demolition of that building and the construction of a new palace on that site. This palace was largely finished during the reign of Philip II in 1558, exhibiting a fusion of Castilian, Italian, and Flemish architectural styles. From that period on, various additional buildings and expansion of the grounds of El Pardo occurred. In addition, the palace was the site of official business such as the signing of the Treaty of Madrid (1750) between Spain and Portugal. As late as the end of the twentieth century, the palace still serves as a royal residence for the King and Queen of Spain. This detailed, intricate 1823 plan of the Palace and adjacent lands of El Pardo includes property boundaries, streams, roads, planned gardens, cultivated lands, El Pardo and Zarzuela Palaces, the Torre de la Parada, monasteries and other ecclesiastical buildings, guard posts and entry points, and extensive woodlands. A detailed and extensive keyed legend accompanies the map. Map is oriented with northwest at top.
