Description
Interesting and detailed map of New York Harbor, published in the Il Gazzettiere Americano, edited in 3 volumes by Marco Coltellini, Livorno, 1763.
The map extends from Manhattan, Hackensack and part of Long Island to Sandy Hook and Middletown. Includes Baia di Newak (Newark), Bergem Neck (Bergen), Coney Isola (Coney island), Brockland (Brooklyn), Redhook, Utrecht, Perth Amboy and other early place names. Soundings and settlements are shown.
The "Il Gazzettiere americano, contenente un distinto ragguaglio di tutte le parti del Nuovo Mondo", in 3 volumes, with texts written by Giuseppe Pazzi, is the first Italian translation, enriched with notes and cards of "The American Gazetteer" published the year before in London by Millar & Tonson. The maps accompanying the atlas are derived from the French cartographer Jacques Nicolas Bellin, used for both the "Petit Atlas Maritime" and for "Histoire Generales de Voyages", with respect to which, however, are embellished with decorative cartouches and finely engraved. The works bear the signatures of Veremondo Rossi, Andrea Scacciati, Giuseppe Maria Terreni and also Violante Vanni, a rare case of Italian women's engagement in the cartographic field.
Copper engraving with fine later colouring in very good condition.
