Description from the seller
This splendid historic map depicts the Kingdom of Naples (indicated in the upper right as Neapolis Regnum, printed in the first half of the eighteenth century (circa 1730) by the celebrated German cartographer Matthäus Seutter in Augsburg (Augsburg).
The map details the administrative division of the territory into provinces, and is embellished with rich ornamental details typical of the Baroque period:
• In the upper right: A sumptuous allegorical cartouche encloses the title and the heraldic coats of arms of the main provinces of the Kingdom.
• In the lower right: A second cartouche with the geometric measurement scales, topped by putti and by a detailed depiction of Vesuvius erupting.
• Geographical details: The borders of the provinces are delineated in period watercolor and show the historical division of Southern Italy, from Abruzzo Citra and Ultra to Calabria. The sea is decorated with sailing ships and wind roses.
