笔记

A rare map of the Province of Como, also showing the roads from Milan to Switzerland.

The map is highly detailed: it includes cities, towns, villages, important palaces as well as geological annotations and the present and planned roads.

The dedication is to Giulio Strassoldo di Sotto (1771-1830), count of Strassoldo, governor of Lombardy and also royal Chamberlain.

A note under the title refers to a Bartolomeo Quadri as the engraver of the mountains.

Rare: Tooley’s Dictionary of Mapmakers only mentions an 1860 reissue.
