AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The two sheets belong to the monumental four-sheet map “Corso del Po per la Lombardia dalle sue fonti ai sino al mare”, one of the most important representations of the Po and Northern Italy created at the beginning of the eighteenth century.

The large map, signed by the cartographer Agostino Cerutti and engraved by Antonio Barbey, was published by Domenico de Rossi in Rome in 1703. It reconstructs in extraordinary detail the course of the Po, the cities, the bordering territories, the hydrographic network and the mountainous conformation of the Alpine and Po Valley areas.
Original vertical and horizontal publication folds
• Traces of use, small oxidations and yellowing compatible with age
• No significant incision loss
• Excellent readability of toponyms and mountain details
• Margins intact, only slight wear on the edges

NB only the first two sheets of 4 are present
