AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Condition: good. Paper browned. Sufficient margins.

Manuscript fortress plan of Turin with the old town, the new town and the citadel. Renau was a mathematician, military engineer and cartographer who worked on Blaeu's large atlas of city plans. The map was beautifully drawn in ink and colored with watercolor. The draftsman punched pinholes to indicate the endpoints of the straight segments in the drawings, which he then traced with a straight edge. The manuscript atlas from which this plan came dates to 1651, although the plans may have been produced later based on sketches and surveys in 1651 after the Peace of Münster ended the Eighty Years' War in 1648.
