Description

ITALIA CUM STATIONIBUS ET VIIS PUBLICIS DELINEATA A JACOBO CANTELLI DA VIGNOLA, ECC. AMSTELODAMI EXUDIT F. HALMA, ECC. IN USUM SERENISS. PRINCIPIS BORUSSIAE.

Geographical and postal map of Italy, derived from that of Giacomo Cantelli and first published in Leiden by Pieter Vander Aa in 1700.

As can be deduced from the two titles in Dutch and Latin, it is a Dutch derivation of the map by Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola, published by Franz Halma in Amsterdam, and dedicated to Prince Frederick William. Longitudes from the Cape Verde Islands and perspective orography.

The streets are represented with two parallel lines; also in red are the main centres. Engraved by G. Droogenham.

Several states of the plate are known, one without the title in the upper right cartouche in Dutch (present here) and one with a heraldic coat of arms of the main Italian states, also contained in the same cartouche.

Exemplar from the work Beschryving van oud en nieuw Rome, by François Jacques Deseine published in Amsterdam in 1704 by Franz Halma.

Etching, finely hand-coloured, in excellent condition.
