Description
Rare map of Italy circa 1706, published by Daniel de La Feuille.
It extends from Provence in the west to Serbia and the island of Corfu in the east. It extends north to Switzerland and south to Sicily. It includes the islands of Corsica and Sardinia. It depicts the Italian peninsula and surrounding areas in great detail. The main map is surrounded by 15 plans of the most Italian cities: Genoa, Parma, Ancona, Loreto, Naples, Verona, Florence, Rome, Venice, Milan, Mantua, Pavia, Ferrara, Piacenza, and Bologna.
This map was originally prepared for inclusion in the 1706 edition of Les Tablettes Guerrières, ou Cartes choisies Pour la Commodité des Officiers et des Voyageurs, Contenant toutes les Cartes générales Du Monde, avec les particulieres des Lieux ou le Théatre de la Guerre se fait sentir en Europe by De la Feuille.
Daniel de La Feuille (1640-1709) was born of Huguenot stock in Sedan (L'Ardennes), France. As a young man he was an apprentice watchmaker. In 1663 La Feuille married Charlette Marlet, daughter of a local carpenter. Twenty years later, in 1683, facing religious persecution against the Huguenots in France, the family fled to Amsterdam. In 1686 Daniel became an honorary citizen of Amsterdam and established himself as an engraver, publisher, and art dealer. Not long after, in 1691, he was admitted to the Booksellers' Guild. His cartographic work includes numerous maps and atlases, many of which continued to be published and republished after his death in 1709. He was succeeded by his sons Jacob de la Feuille (1668 - 1719) and Paul de La Feuille (1688 - 1727).
Copperplate with original colouring, good condition.

Daniel de La Feuille (1640 - 1709) was born of Huguenot stock in Sedan (L'Ardennes), France. As a young man he apprenticed as a watchmaker. In 1663 La Feuille married Charlette Marlet, the daughter of a local carpenter. Twenty years later, in 1683, facing religious prosecution of Huguenots in France, the family fled to Amsterdam. By 1686 Daniel had become a burgher (citizen) of the city and established himself as an engraver, publisher, and art dealer. Not long after, in 1691, he was admitted into the Booksellers Guild. Though we are primarily concerned with his cartographic work here, his masterpiece is considered to be Devises et em- blems, a collection of symbols and designs mostly likely intended as templates for silversmiths, engravers, and watchmakers. His cartographic work includes numer- ous individual maps and atlases, many of which continued to be published and republished well after his death in 1709. He was succeeded by his sons Jacob de la Feuille (1668 - 1719) and Paul de La Feuille (1688 - 1727).
