Ancona.

(Old Maps, 17th Century Maps, Europe, Italy, Marche, Ancona, City Plan).

Issued 1629, Padova, appresso- Francesco Bertelli, con lic. de' Sup.

Delightful antique engraved Italian city plan. A most charming map, with a splendid near folk-art primitive style. The level of detail is astounding, hundreds of small individual buildings, a clearly recognizable urban plan set within old fortified stone walls, sailing ships in the harbor, a city shield at top left corner.

A very scarce plan, and found here well printed in a rich dark ink impression.

As originally issued long ago, an actual antique/ vintage printed sheet of paper, not a modern copy or reprint. The paper sheet could show various minor signs of age, but if we are offering it for sale, you can be 100% certain it is entirely worthy of ownership by even the most discerning collector or dealer.

A cartographic depiction captured in a manner entirely unique to this historical era.

Sheet measures c. 6 1/8" H x 8 1/4 " W.

Printed area measures c. 4 5/8" H x 6 3/4 " W
