Title: Plan de Madrid.
Description: This is a 1782 Edme Mentelle map or plan of Madrid, Spain. This map depicts the city of Madrid from the Manzanares River in the west to the Campo Grande in the east and from the Puerta de Embaxadores in the south to the Puerta des los Pozos in the north as well as a significant amount of countryside surrounding the city. The ...map is highly detailed but very clean. Instead of labeling streets and buildings on the map itself, a list of 74 of the 'principle streets and buildings' in Madrid. The Plaza Grand de Palacio Real is labeled on the map as well as the Campo Grande. In the countryside around the city, trees are depicted in profile and several hills are included to show the topography of the region.
This map was prepared by Edme Mentelle, drawn by Dubuisson, and engraved by Pierre-François Tardieu. The map was published in Paris by chez Jean as a part of Edme Mentelle's Atlas nouveau.

Customs: International buyers are responsible for paying duty and taxes on delivery. DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
