Italy - The Papal States, Tuscany; Bonne - Etat de l'Eglise et Duché de Toscane - 1781-1800

This map of Central Italy by Rigobert Bonne (1727-95) is from the 'Atlas Encyclopédique', but not the usual Paris edition. It comes from the rare 1789/1790 Padua edition of Bonne and Nicolas Desmarets 'Atlas Encyclopédique'. The copperplate was executed by the Venetian engraver Pietro Scattaglia, whose signature, "Scattaglia sc.," appears in the lower right margin. This distinguishes the present example from the French edition, which was issued in Paris in 1787/1788.
