The Spain volume of Coronelli's rare Teatro de la guerra in an early, probably original binding. The plates mostly show views and plans of the various theatres of war, and some navigation maps. The printed list of plates calls for a plate 95 showing Western Europe, but this appears never to have been bound into this copy. Nordenskiöld, vol. 1, pp.115-17 ('the maps in our copy do not quite correspond to the index').
