The Treaty of Madrid (1630), as the conclusion of the Anglo-Spanish War (1625–1630), part of the Eighty Years’ War (Dutch Revolt), had the effect of improving English trade with Spain during the 1630s, making Spain and the Spanish American territories to some extent, the most important overseas market for English goods. The treaty also allowed Dutch vessels into certain Spanish ports.

Scarce on the market, RBH records only three sales of the title within the last 30 years, all the same copy as the present one.
