A superb 17th century plan of Venice
CORONELLI, Vincenzo Maria.
Citta di Venetia.
Venice, c.1693. Two sheets conjoined, total 490 x 770mm.
Remargined at top, as usual with this large format plate.
A magnificent, large-scale bird's-eye view of Venice, surrounded by armorials of the Venetian nobility on a garland, the Venetian lion top centre. This is an example of the first state (of three), still with the date of 1693 in the dedication roundel.
This is a scarce map: it did not appear in all of Coronelli's atlases and the examples that did were often damaged because of the large height and width.
MORETTO: 114, first state of three, 'considered one of the most beautiful and appreciated Venetian maps'.
