This detailed and beautifully engraved map of the French/Italian Mediterranean coast from Nice to Montferrat, has no cartouche- the title is written in the top border, 3 scales, inset map at lower right of Nice.The plates were originally made by De l’Isle around 1700. Covens and Mortimer reissued them in the Atlas Novissimo (1730-40). Phillipe Buache, de l’Isle’s successor, and son in law continued to reissue de l’Isle’s maps in the later eighteenth century.
Fine condition, good margins, edges a little browned
