Italy - Northern Italy

This geographical map is an original copper engraving and comes from a rare Italian edition of 1667. It is the extremely rare and pocket edition of the maps by ABRAHAM ORTELIUS, prepared and engraved by SCIPION BANCA in VENICE in 1667, published in his fantastic work titled: "THEATRO DI ABRAHAM ORTELIUS in Venezia, M.D.C.L.X.VII. (1667)." Beautiful and rare map printed in Italy, with wide margins, excellent original hand coloring and well outlined and very well detailed in every point. Conditions: the condition is good, as shown in the photo and considering its almost 400 years of age; however there is a worm hole in the upper-left area of the map, easily removable with light restoration The overall dimensions of the map are: 14 cm by 10 cm

Estimate:£22.81
