"Status Ecclesiasticus et Magnus Ducatus Thoscanae", Wit, Frederick de

A well-engraved map of Tuscany, including Mantua, Florence, Rome, and extending to Elba and a portion of Corsica. The map is filled with detail, including a road that goes from Piacenza to Rimino on the Venetian Gulf. The larger cities are shown as fortified citadels, and the topography is noted pictorially. There is an elaborate cartouche in the upper right featuring royal figures, coats of arms, and a mer-man.
