This handsome and uncommon Italian map zeroes in on a handful of administrative divisions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: Courland, Inflanty, Wilno, Toki, and Samogitia. It extends from C. Domes (Cape Kolka) south to Bialystok, Poland. The title cartouche is decorated with a landscape vignette and attributes the cartography to the Polish atlas of Rizzi-Zannoni, a famous astronomer, surveyor & mathematician. Engraved by G. Zuliani, with lettering by G. Pitteri.
