Ortelius based his map of the Piedmont region on the cartography of Giacomo Gastaldi. Milan is in the upper right corner and Monaco is at lower left. The map is a great illustration of the mountainous countryside and is filled with information including even the tiniest of villages. Ornamented with two cartouches and a sailing ship in the Mediterranean. Latin text on verso.

The bottom margins are reinforced with old paper on verso. There are several marginal tears, some closed with archival tape. Toned, with a few worm holes, on centerfold. Presentable as is, but would benefit from conservation.
