Nouvelle Carte D'Italie.

(Old Maps, 18th Century Maps, Europe, Italy, Rome, Florence, Verona, Naples, Genoa, Parma, Bologna, Pavia, Mila, Venice, Pavia).

Issued 1708, Amsterdam by de La Feuille.

Scarce and wonderful early 18th century engraved map with attractive hand color. City views and plans on three sides of map.

Remains a nice looking example with a pleasing age patina. Any age flaws mostly minor and easy to overlook or forgive.

Original fold lines as issued, map was neatly affixed long ago to an old paper backing sheet. Left side blank margin chipped and uneven, tiny hole in bottom blank margin, small piece of manuscript re-instatement in Veneto region (all but invisible when viewing the map).

Despite the small assorted age flaws described above, if you inspect the map visually it is obviously a lovely and appealing map well worthy of display.
