Regno Di Napoli: Map of Southern Italy
Kingdom Of Naples
1635.
385mm x 505mm. A fine, copper engraved, hand-coloured map of southern Italy by one of the most famous cartographers of the period. German text to verso. Twelve heraldic shields to borders, decorative cartouche at the foot of the map, with the Neapolitan coat of arms above it, and the Spanish coat of arms to the top right corner. A near fine example, centre crease as usual, and a couple of spots but otherwise very clean and bright.
The Blaeu family were perhaps the pre-eminent seventeenth century publishers of maps, globes and atlases.
LITERATURE: BLAEU, Joan Atlas Novus (German Edition, Volume II, 1635)
