Original copper engraving: the allegorical title page to the third volume of Les délices de l'Espagne et du Portugal, by Pieter van der Aa. Above the pedestal bearing the title, two figures hold a shield with the motto "Qui non ha vista Sevilla non ha vista maravilla"; below, a kneeling native warrior among spoils and the arms of Catalonia.
The work, published in Leiden, is the most fully illustrated book on Spain to appear at the beginning of the 18th century; its French editions give Juan Álvarez de Colmenar as the author, probably a pseudonym.
