AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Spectacular and detailed geographical map centered on the territory of the Republic of Genoa and the entire Ligurian coast, extending from Ventimiglia to the Gulf of Spezia. The map offers a richly panoramic view of eighteenth-century topography, highlighting coastal cities, inland villages, rivers, and mountain ranges.

The work is enriched by two extraordinary iconographic elements

An imposing allegorical composition that celebrates Genoa's maritime and commercial power. It depicts Neptune with the trident, sea deities, playful putti, and large barrels of goods.

• Fresh, crisp impression, well printed on eighteenth-century laid paper. The minute details of the toponyms and the hachure of the mountains are perfectly legible.
• Margins: Whole sheet with ample original editorial margins beyond the copperplate imprint
