This is one of the earliest available maps specifically showing the Basque region in Spain, particularly Bizcaia or Vizcaya and Guipuzcoa.
This map bears a strong resemblance to the map issued by Henricus Hondius his atlas of 1630. However, both maps came out within a short period of each other, so it is difficult to ascertain which one was issued first. The main source would have been Mercator's map of the region.
