L'Isle de Malte avec ses Voisines

The lower section depicts the Maltese archipelago (Malta and Gozo) with the title *Le traiect de Malte en Sicile*. In the upper panels: *Les isles occidentales de Sicile* (the Egadi Islands), *Les isles de Lipari au dessus de Sicile* (the Aeolian Islands), and *La Valete forte place de Malte* (a plan or detailed view of the fortifications of Valletta).

Map taken from the “Parallela Geographica Italiae Veteris et Novae..”, a very rare work by the jesuit priest Briet.

Copperplate with fine later hand colour, in very good conditions.
