Handsome small map of the mountainous Lombardy region of northern Italy with the lakes of Maggiore, Lugano and Como roughly in the center and Lake Geneva to the left. 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. Almost 20 years later Joannes Janssonius commissioned a new set of copperplates to be engraved by Pieter Van Den Keere (Kaerius) and Abraham Goos. These maps were elegantly designed with decorative title cartouches, finely engraved and surprisingly detailed for their dimensions. Koeman “Atlantes Neerlandici” Me203. [cod.359/15]

Importante pianta della città tratta dall’opera “Nouveau Theatre d’Italie….” di Pierre Mortier pubblicata ad Amsterdam nel 1724. Si tratta della prima pianta dopo quella del Rascicotti del 1599 rispondente alla realtà. Sono riconoscibili, infatti, con buona precisione sia il tracciato viario, e con esso le maggiori piazze ed i tratti dei torrenti, sia i principali monumenti, disegnati in piano rialzato per meglio evidenziarli dagli isolati cittadini.
