This decorative little map portrays the island of Corsica after Coronelli and shows the Mediterranean coast centered on Genoa from Marseille to Tuscany. On either side of the map is a list of provinces with primary cities. The fancy dedication cartouche is flanked by two sea monsters and the title cartouche is flanked by mermen.

A nice impression on a bright sheet with contemporary outline color in the map and later color in the decorative elements. There is a hint of toning along the centerfold and heavier toning along the edges of the sheet.
