So the translation goes: This beautiful map of Italy is not quite accurate for the period in which it was realized and the lack of instruments. Realized by the geographer S. Sanson, it was printed in 1672 in the printing company of another famous cartographer, H. Jaillot. Engraved on copper, the map was mounted onto a removable cloth. On the west it extends beyond the French boundaries and it includes Dalmatia on the east. The orography is rendered in perspective with the system of rises. The place names are partly in Italian and partly in French. On the bottom left-hand side of the map there is a chart with the different scales, and a dedication to Louis XIV of France.

All maps are Made in Italy, outlined using a hand tooled copper press, painted by hand using water color, mounted on an antiquated, linen and cotton canvas in sections which fold easily and are encased in a soft bag, inside of a luxurious burgundy gift box with the map’s title written across the corner cover.

Maps may be hung using any method of your choice including professional framing (available upon request) or be displayed atop tables or other flat surfaces.
