Description

Very rare perspective plan of Parma, published in Paris in about 1667, as indicated by the imprint at the bottom "Jollain exc.".

"Pianta prospettica ricalcante quella del Merian e in parte quella del 1643. In essa perciò si lamentano le stesse manchevolezze. Sotto la didascalia latina la notizia del'incisore, del quale si conoscono pure varie carte geografiche raccolte nell'opera: Tresor des cartes geographiques, Paris, rue S. Jacques à la ville de Cologne [1667]" (cfr. Da Mareto, Parma e Piacenza nei secoli, p. 55)

Etching, printed on contemporary laid paper, in excellent condition. Very rare.
