1722 Antique Map of Venice by Petrus van der Aa

Sale price€2.200,00

A spectacular Antique Map of Venice, Titled “Nova et accussima Venetiarum urbis Tabula topographica”, published by Petrus van der Aa in 1722 in the Thesaurus antiquitatum et historiarum Italiae by Johan Georg Graevius.

Venice is shown as a plan of the Islands, breaking with the traditional bird's-eye view that had prevailed throughout the seventeenth century. This view gives us a functional understanding of Venice, which is divided into the six 'sestieri'. Each sestiere - San Marco, Castello, Cannaregio, Santa Croce, Dorsoduro, San Giorgio Maggiore.

The print has reconstructed margins, having been trimmed in the past; the inking is good, with all of the details clearly legible. The watermark is visible when held up to the light.

Dimensions: W55cm x D44cm
