Copper etching by Guillaume-Nicolas Delahaye (1725-1802)

Geographical place names etc: French Language

This map does not show the title cartouche. It was printed in two parts as a large wall map.
We have only the western part of the Mediterranean Sea. Since Delahaye's signature is in
the lower right corner of this map, it may be assumed that the map was created for one
of the French cartographers of the late 18th or early 19th century.

Very good condition with only minor signs of age and use.
Because of large size there are several vertical folds to fit atlas size.

"Italia Gallica, sive Gallia Cisalpina" Copper etching from the atlas ãTheatrum Orbis Terrarum" by Abraham Ortelius. Antwerp, 1595. Hand coloring, probably in the 20th century. Reverse text: Latin.

This is a historic not a geographical map. It was added to the original atlas as the IV additamentum. The historical maps were all engraved by Abraham Ortelius himself and added to the atlas in five stages under the subtitle ãParergon, sive veteris geographiae aliquot tabulae". Since these maps were added only three years before Ortelius died, they were printed only in the last few editions of this magnificent atlas work.

Map shows area south of the Alps to a line from Pisa to Ravenna. Names of places and rivers in Latin. Great attention is paid to the rivers, the contributeries to the river Po, which also in ancient times, was a gigantic, most fertile and therefore wealthy area. Ortelius shows in particular the flood plains towards the Adratic Sea which was curse and blessing for the people and the agriculture.

Pleasant general age toning. Wide margins. Map has repairs in upper area visible on the reverse side. Centerfold has been reinforced.
