This large-scale map covers the city of Rome with detail down to individual buildings and the street pattern. Highly decorative, the map is flanked along the left and right borders by 16 vignettes depicting St. Peters Basilica, Pantheon, Colliseum and Forum to name a few. An index with an attractive scroll border lists numerous important buildings and is keyed to the map, while a large monolith at bottom contains three distance scales. Engraved by Pietra Ruga and published by Monaldini for French and English tourists. Dissected into 32 panels and backed with original linen.

A nice impression with light soiling. The edges of the dissected panels are a bit worn and beginning to come loose from the linen in some spots.
