This elegantly engraved pair of maps provides nice detail of sections of the Italian peninsula. The first map shows the Kingdom of Naples, extending to include the northern portion of Sicily. The second map depicts the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Papal States. Title appears in a banner-style cartouche. Both maps include many place names and French text on verso.
