Italy - Milan, Lombardy, eastern Piedmont, the Canton of Ticino and the Prealpine lakes; Thomas Salmon (1679–1767) - Stato di Milano e suoi Confini - 1721-1750

Elegant and detailed original 18th-century geographic map, copper-engraved and titled "Stato di Milano e suoi Confini". Published in Venice by the renowned Giambattista Albrizzi print shop around the middle of the 18th century, based on the textual foundation of the historian Thomas Salmon, the map meticulously describes the entire territory of the Milanese State and the neighboring Piedmontese, Swiss, and Venetian areas. The work is adorned in the upper right corner with a splendid monumental Baroque cartouche containing the title, surmounted by a portrait in effigy within a circular medallion and flanked by architectural views and military trophies. At the bottom center appears the cartouche with the graphical scales in Italian and French miles. An impression printed on period laid paper with wide margins, enhanced by a clear contemporaneous coloring of the borders. Excellent state of preservation, a piece of notable collecting interest for the cartography of Northern Italy.
