"[Lot of 2] Northern Italy [and] Southern Italy Kingdom of Naples, I. Sardinia & Malta", Colton, George Woolworth

A matched pair of maps that describe all of Italy. These maps were published in Colton's monumental world atlas in 1856. Each features Colton's distinctive scroll-style border. The northern sheet extends to below Rome at the Gulf of Gaeta and includes all of Corsica. The southern map begins above Rome and includes the island of Sardinia. At lower left is a large inset: "Malta and its Dependencies" on a scale of approximately 6 miles per inch. Both maps sized as given.
