This densely detailed map covers the region between Lake Constance and the Gulf of Venice, including the western panhandle of Austria and nearly all of northern Italy, extending as far south as Bologna. The map is filled with roads and hundreds of towns, with larger cities depicted as miniature bird's-eye plans. The lovely title cartouche features an army lowering cannons down a cliff by rope and pulley.
