Description

Carta storica dell’Italia centro-meridionale, divisa secondo le antiche popolazioni che la abitavano.

La carta è stampata a Parigi da Jean Baptiste Tardieu (1768 - 24 dicembre 1837), un incisore cartografico francese appartenente alla grande famiglia parigina dei Tardieu. La famiglia Tardieu fu estremamente prolifica: per oltre 200 anni numerosi membri furono abili e attivi incisori. La maggior parte degli incisori Tardieu si identificava semplicemente come "Tardieu" o al massimo con le proprie iniziali, per cui è spesso estremamente difficile distinguere i loro lavori individuali.

Acquaforte, coloritura coeva dei contorni, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

Jean Baptiste TARDIEU (Parigi 1768 - 1837)

Jean Baptiste Tardieu (1768 - December 24, 1837) was a French cartographic engraver of the large Paris-based Tardieu family. The Tardieu family was extremely prolific, with numerous members, for over 200 years, being skilled and active engravers. Most of the Tardieu engravers simply identified themselves as 'Tardieu' or at best with their initials, so it is often extremely difficult to distinguish their individual work. Along with fellow engraver Louis Tardieu (1765 - 1793), Jean Baptiste was the son of the engraver Pierre Joseph Tardieu (1724 – 1793) and Henriette Larchange (1735 – 17??), Pierre Joseph's second wife. From Pierre Joseph's first wife, Anne Catherine Labdouche (1725 – 1758), he also had a half-sister, Rosalie Tardieu (c. 1750 – 1756), and four half-brothers, all also engravers: Jean Baptiste Pierre Tardieu (1746 – 1816), Jean Claude Tardieu (1746 – 1828), Pierre Alexandre Tardieu (1756 – 1844), and Antoine-François Tardieu (1757 – 1822).
