Description
Oblique perspective plan, engraved by Giovanni Maggi in 1600 based on a drawing by Ludovico Corte, completed in 1599. The work was dedicated by Corte to Domenico Achillio, an illustrious citizen of Pavia. It is the first coherent urban plan of the city, predating the famous "Ballada plan" of 1654, but drawn by Corte himself in 1617.
The upper part of the title block reads M.D.IC. NON. CAL. MARTII, which may indicate the date of completion of the drawing, while the date of the engraving (1600) is clearly indicated at the bottom left, after Giovanni Maggi's name.
Etching and engraving, printed on two joined sheets of paper, minor restorations perfectly executed along the paper folds, otherwise in excellent condition.
Magnificent example of the very rare Pavia map by Ludovico Corte (Bifolco-Ronca p. 2294, describes only 5 examples in public collections).
