1580 Braun and Hogenberg View of Santander, Spain
WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS
Title: Santander.
Description: This is a 1580 Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg view of Santander, Spain. The view overlooks the town of Santander from one of the hills which presumably surrounds the city. The city and harbor are depicted in detail, illustrating individual buildings, the town church, and even individual fishing boats in the harbor! Large s...ailing ships dot the bay. Mountains and a large waterfall provide a backdrop, while townspeople in traditional dress occupy the foreground, along with their donkey. The fact that the harbor dominates the view alludes to the town's trading importance in the region of Cantabria.
This view was published in Civitates Orbis Terrarum by Braun and Hogenberg in 1580.

2. FedEx Ground or Home Delivery (15 USD). USA Only. 1 - 10 days. If your address is a P.O. Box and cannot ship FedEx we will ship USPS Priority and, while we ship promptly, recent postal personnel cutbacks mean that delivery may take time. Signature Required.

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.
Insurance: All shipments are insured privately against loss and damage. All of our shipments require a signature for insurance purposes.
