Genova

This example is taken from the work Universus terrarum orbis scriptorum calamo delineatus ... qui de Europae, Asiae, Africae, & Americae regnis, provinciis, populis, civitatibus.... published in Padua in 1713, at Matteo Cadorin, by Raffaello Savonarola, under the pseudonym of Lasor a Varea (or Varela).

The work was a kind of encyclopedia containing news about the various localities of the world arranged in alphabetical order, enriched with maps and views of the whole world belonging to famous cartographic collections of the past-Bertelli, Valegio, Camocio, Bonifacio, Nelli, Magini, and others-of which the publisher Cadorin probably possessed the original plates.

Copper engraving, fine later hand colour, in excellent condition.
