An appealing 1800 map or city plan of Naples, issued by John Stockdale. The map is very detailed, noting walls, forts, bridges, gates, roads and a host of additional topographical features. In the sea a compass rose and a panel listing 80 point of interest. At bottom left a nice baroque title cartouche with lovely vignette. At topo, out of margin, the King’s Castle.
