ITALIE

by Rigobert Bonne

Published Paris circa 1770
An attractive copper engraved map of Italy enhanced with hand colouring. The coverage extends beyond Sicily to Malta, Gozo and the coast of North Africa, the Dalmatian coast of present day Croatia, Corsica and Sardinia.
Fine condition, centre fold as issued.
Approx. 13.5" x 9" (340mm x 230mm) map area only with good margins beyond. Rigobert Bonne (1729 -1795) was particularly successful with his coverage of coastal regions and he became the successor to Bellin as the Royal Cartographer to France. His work with the Depot de la Marine was highly influential. He also produced maps for atlases by Guillame Raynal and Nicholas Desmaret.
