Genuensis Dominum, Reipublicae, cum inclytae istius Urbis et Portus insignioribus Prospectibus … repraesentatum. With a very fine large title-cartouche with coat of arms + Athene, Poseidon and Hermes, all three important for Genoa as tutelary gods of state, sea, and commerce resp. Especially for the latest there are baggage and a merchant vessel as further signs. But in the lower map field a
bird’s eye view of the town opened by 25 object signs, enriched by a fullness of ships and boats, and framed by a complex of buildings and especially a scenery of textile business (16 x 54 cm). Coloured engraved map by Matthäus Seutter I (1678-1757) in Augsburg. 50 x 57.7 cm.
With a very helpful separate full-page local index with a privilege of 1739 as a Seutter specialty but added not by a long way to his maps generally. – From the Vienna Seutter edition of 1736. – Cartouches and the view uncoloured as typical of many maps coloured in its time. – Up to Turin – Pavia – Cremona – Parma – Réggio . – Splendid map on heavy paper.
