Description
English: A beautiful example of Le Sieur Janvier's 1770 decorative map of Italy. Covers from the Gulf of Eyon eastward to include all of Corsica, Sardinia, Italy, the Adriatic, and parts of Hungary and Turkey in Europe. Extends south to include adjacent parts of Africa and north as far as Lake Geneva. An elaborate title cartouche rendered with Papal accoutrements appears in the lower left hand quadrant. A secondary cartouche bearing a six distance scales appears in the lower right. This map shows the Italian peninsula prior to its struggle for national solidarity which would emerge as a movement about 50 years later in the early 19th century. The peninsula is divided into numerous independent states, duchies, republics, kingdoms and, of course, the Papal States (States of the Church). Overall, a fine map of the region. Drawn J. Janvier c. 1770 for issue as plate nos. 10 in Jean Lattre's 1776 issue of the Atlas Moderne .
