Handsome
original
antique engraved map titled Italiæ Regio Alpina, quæ vulgo,
sed minus recte, dicitur Gallia Cisalpina; cura et studio D. Macpherson.
- It shows the northern part
of Italy between the Apennines and the Alps, with topography drawn in
relief and place names from classical antiquity. Present-day Milan, for
example,
is labeled Mediolanum. Bologna is Bononia, Brescia is Brixia, and Pavia
is Ticinum.
- The image area measures 24 x 40.1 cm [9½" x 15¾"], and
there's a distance
scale in the upper corner, calibrated in Roman miles.
- The map was compiled
by David Macpherson, engraved by Samuel Harrison, and published in
Philadelphia by
Samuel F. Bradford and Murray, Fairman & Company in the
Geographiæ Antiquæ
atlas to accompany Abraham Rees' Cyclopædia, or Universal
Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature, 1824.
- Condition: This map is in excellent
condition, bright, crisp, and clean,
with no marks, rips, or tears. It is blank
on the back,
with no printing on the reverse side. Please see the scans and feel
free to ask
any questions.
- This is an original, authentic antique map, not
a reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be
genuine. The title translates to "The Alpine
region of Italy, which is more correctly called Cisalpine Gaul."
