"Carte du Plan de Venise, l'Etat de sa Noblesse, et ses Differens Degrez, avec Quelques autres Remarques Curieuses sur cette Superbe Ville", Chatelain, Henry Abraham
This striking bird's-eye plan provides one of the most detailed illustrations of the city of Venice. Virtually every building and street is visible and the lagoon and canals are filled with an array of ships and gondolas. The text below the plan lists the monasteries, churches, places, bridges and the names of Venetian nobility. The image including the text measures 18 x 15.25".
