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."
