A 19th century manuscript map of Corfu as a British protectorate

Anonymous.

Isola di Corfù. Giugno 1825.
June, 1825. Pen and black and red ink, with grey and brown wash, on paper, sheet 500 x 775mm.

Remargined at bottom.

A finely-executed manuscript map of Corfu, orientated with north to the upper left, on a scale of appoximately 1:85,000. Written in an Italian hand, the only clue to the island's status as a British protectorate is the scale given in English miles.
On the map relief is illustrated with shading; roads, including the street layout of Corfu City are marked in red, as are a few buildings.
