[Spain]. [Wall map]. LAVANHA, Juan Baptista / LEZAUN, Tomás Fermín de. Aragón by Juan Baptista Lavaña. Dedicated to the Most Illustrious Members of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Aragon... (Zaragoza, 1777). A black copperplate engraving, approx. 113 x 92 cm, with colored borders (map restored, rolled, and slightly creased; tears with no missing material). 1777 edition of the famous map of Aragon by Juan Baptista Lavanha and Diego de Astor, corrected and considerably expanded by Tomás Fermín de Lezaún. A seminal work in 17th-century cartography of Aragon, this map is the first scientific representation of the region, based on direct topographic surveys and triangulation methods. Commissioned by the Council of the Kingdom of Aragon, it was produced by the Portuguese cosmographer Juan Baptista Lavanha (1550–1625), who traveled throughout the region between 1610 and 1615 to conduct his observations and measurements. Engraved on six copper plates by Diego de Astor, it was first published in Madrid in 1619–1620. This 1777 edition was significantly expanded by Tomás Fermín de Lezaún (1747–1778), who added 326 localities, corrected 122 place names, and updated the administrative divisions, roads, and the hydrographic network. Much more than a simple reprint, it bears witness to the evolution of geographical knowledge in Aragon during the 18th century.
