AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent and extensive map of Italy published in Paris in 1718, taken from the Atlas Nouveau.
The work represents the entire Italian peninsula and includes in detail:
• Sardinia and Corsica
• Sicily
• Istria (now Croatia and Slovenia)
• Dalmatia
• Republic of Ragusa (now Dubrovnik, Croatia)
• Part of French Provence

A highly sought-after feature is the presence of all the main postal routes of the early eighteenth century, drawn with red lines across the entire map: a rare feature in French maps of the period.

The representation of Istria is particularly interesting: Jaillot shows Pula, Rovinj, Poreč, Novigrad, Umag, Koper and the entire Venetian coast, integrating the region into the communications network of the time.
An important detail for collectors of Balkan and Venetian cartography.

The baroque cartouche in the right margin confirms the date 1718 and the Parisian origin. The impression is clear and deep, a sign of an early and well-preserved print run.

Condition

Good/excellent:
• Original central fold from atlas.
• Healthy paper, wide margins.
• Slight yellowing and old stains on the upper left side, consistent with age.
• No visible tears, very fresh print.
