This is a large, beautiful map of Italy with Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily. It extends to also include the Dalmatian coast and Istiria on the Adriatic Sea and to Malta in the Mediterranean. The map is enclosed in a bold key-board style border. Seven different distance scale are included. James Wyld, successor to William Faden, maintained the high standard of graphic and factual excellence that had been established by his predecessor and his maps are among the finest published in the early nineteenth century.
