Description
Rara carta della Sabina meridionale; si estende a sud di Rieti fino al corso del Tevere.
In realtà si tratta di una sorta di carta geologica che Giovanni Maria Cassini incide per l’opera di Pier Maria Carmeli, Carte corografiche, e memorie riguardanti le pietre, le miniere, e i fossili per servire alla storia naturale delle provincie del patrimonio, Sabina, Lazio, marittima, campagna, e dell'Agro Romano abbozzate e raccolte dal prefetto degli studi del Reale Collegio Fernandiano alla Nunziatella, pubblicata a Napoli nel 1782.
Nella carta sono indicate, assieme ad alcuni essenziali toponimi, le caratteristiche geologiche del territorio, con le “pietre, le miniere, e i fossili”. In alto a destra, in un cartiglio, la veduta del “Monte dell’oro”.
Acquaforte, pieghe di carta, in ottimo stato di conservazione.
Giovanni Maria CASSINI (1745 - 1824)
|
Giovanni Maria Cassini was a fine Italian engraver, globe maker and painter. He did most of his work in Rome, and was not a member of the French Cassini family (a French Giovanni Maria Cassini was bor 120 years earlier). In 1792 Cassini published in Rome Vol. 1 of his atlas Nuovo Atlante Geografico Universale. This contained two celestial hemispheres printed in 1790, which were labeled Planisfero Celeste Settentrionale and Meridionale. Similar to Zatta's hemispheric prints, in the corners were beautiful drawings of famous observatories: Collegio Romano, Bologna, Milan and Padua in the northern plate, and Paris, Cassel, Greenwich and Copenaghen in the southern plate. Vol. 2 of this atlas was published in 1797, Vol. 3 in 1801.
