    A rare map depicting northern Italy during the Second War of Independence, designed and printed in Strasbourg in 1859 by Frédéric-Émile Simon, a figure who stands out in the history of European publishing and chromolithography thanks to his innovations in color printing. In the lower left corner, the publication details highlight the use of “the best French and German documents” and lend the map scientific objectivity, positioning it as a “neutral” source of information in…

    This elegant “Corografia della Provincia di Verona,” published in 1880 by Premiata Litografia Penuti, is an excellent example of late-19th-century administrative and territorial cartography, a period when geometric precision began to merge with high-quality editorial aesthetics. The map stands out for its highly striking orographic representation, where the Monte Baldo massif and the Lessinia plateau are rendered through dense, meticulous shading that lends a three-dimensional quality to the relief, allowing the side valleys and the…

    Raffinata 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……

    Alessandro Maridati’s “Gran carta corografica itineraria e statistica del Regno Lombardo-Veneto” stands as one of the most ambitious cartographic syntheses of Habsburg-controlled Italy in the mid-19th century. Published in Milan by Ferdinando Artaria e figlio in 1859 and masterfully engraved by Pezze, Allodi, and Bezzera, this imposing work—noteworthy for both its grand scale and scientific rigor—was conceived not merely to map the terrain, but to provide a systematic documentation of the infrastructure, resources, and administrative…

    Nice small map covering the Belluno area in Veneto from the Mercator Hondius “Atlas Minor” published in Amsterdam in 1648 at Jannsonius with german text on verso. In 1607 Jodocus Hondius published a reduced size version of Mercator’s “Atlas”, itself suitably titled “Atlas Minor”. The maps were copied from those of the great cartographer Mercator of around 1580-90 or were reductions of Hondius’ own maps of 1606. [cod.397/15]

    A rare military and topographic map focusing on the strategic region between Lake Garda and the courses of the Mincio, Adige, and Po rivers. The title, explicitly referring to the “Quadrilatero” (Festungsviereck), identifies the Austrian defensive system centered on the four main strongholds: Verona, Mantua, Peschiera, and Legnago. The map stands out for its fine depiction of orographic details (rendered with a delicate shaded hatching for the Pre-Alpine ranges and Monte Baldo) and hydrographic features.…
