Italy - Northern Italy

This Geographic Map is an original copper engraving and comes from a rare Italian edition of 1667. This is the extremely rare and pocket edition of the ABRAHAM ORTELIUS maps, prepared and engraved by SCIPION BANCA in VENICE in 1667, published in his fantastic work bearing the name: "THEATRO DI ABRAHAM ORTELIUS in Venezia, M.D.C.L.X.VII. (1667)." Beautiful and rare map published in Italy, with wide margins, excellent original watercoloring and well marked and very well detailed in every point. Conditions: the conditions are good, as shown in the photo and considering its almost 400 years of age; however, there is a woodworm hole in the upper left area, easily repairable, as shown in the photo. The overall dimensions of the map are: 14 x 10 cm.

Estimate:£0.83
