Description
Map of Rome with vertical projection, oriented with the north to the left.
"It is a reprint of the plan of Andrews with retouches to the campitura of the buildings and represented therefore the city as it was presented a century before. Bottom right three characters with a church in the background. Anomalous for the time the orientation, which is explained as a copy of a much older map. 189 numbers of legend" (cf. Marigliani p. 256).
