AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This geographic map is an original copper engraving and comes from a rare Italian edition of 1667.

This is the extremely rare and pocket edition of ABRAHAM ORTELIUS's maps, prepared and engraved by SCIPION BANCA in VENICE in 1667, published in his fantastic work bearing the title: "THEATRO DI ABRAHAM ORTELIUS........ in Venezia, M.D.C.L.X.VII. (1667)."

Beautiful and rare map printed in Italy, with wide margins, excellent original color wash and clearly bold and very well detailed in every point.

Condition: the condition is good, as shown in the photos and considering its almost 400 years of age; however, there are a few small harmless signs of aging, as shown in the photos.

Overall dimensions of the map are: 14 cm by 10 cm.
