Out of stockRaffinata carta geografica del Dominio Veneto basata sull’opera di Giovanni Antonio Magini dalla quale differisce per una attenzione maggiore per la realtà geo-politica: infatti a differenza del prototipo Maginiano qui si aggiungono i confini dei vari territori (“Trentino”, “Vicentino”, “Veronese” … ), si sottolinea il Mirandolano distinto da Modena e si nota l’aggiunta del toponimo del Forte di Fuentes a nord del lago di Como. Tratta dall’opera Atlas Novus, sive Descriptio Geographica Totius Orbis Terrarum……

Uncommon map showing the duchy of Ferrara. To the south are Bologna and Ravenna and the surrounding areas. To the East is the Adriatic Sea. The central waterway is the Po river and its many tributaries. North of the Po is part of the course of the Adige river. Part of the charm of this map is that so much detail is given to the rivers which branch out like a cobweb on the map.…

Fine map of Mantova from the french edition of Atlas major published in Amsterdam in 1667. The famous Blaeu’s firm was founded in 1596 by Willem Janzoon Blaeu (1571-1638) then continued by his two sons Cornelius (1616-1648) and Johannis (1596-1673). Their greatest cartographic achievement was the publication of the magnificent Atlas Major with 600 maps all finely engraved and embellished by elaborate cartouches, heraldic detail and especially by splendid calligraphy. The Atlas Major represents one of the finest moments in cartography. The firm shut down in 1672 when their offices were destroyed during the Great Amsterdam fire. A year afterwards Johannis Blaeu died. The firm’s surviving stocks of plates and maps were gradually dispersed, some of the plates being bought by F. de Wit and Schenk and Valck, before final closure in 1695.
