NOLLI, Giambattista (c.1692-1756) - La nuova topografia di Roma. Roma: 1748.

Nolli's famous map of Rome is considered one of the masterpieces of urban cartography. Fundamental for the study of Roman cartography, it remained a model for all the maps of Rome until the twentieth century and it was the first to distinguish between magnetic and astronomical north and to differentiate with graphic clarity between archaeological remains and contemporary buildings. Giovan Battista Nolli from Como made use of the collaboration of the engravers Carlo Pozzi, Pietro Campana and Carlo Nolli (his son), and for the cartoons, of the painter Stefano Pozzi. This copy is exceptionally enclosed by commentary unlike the copies that are usually found on the market.
.

The very large engraved map of Rome with commentary measures, (1735 x 2720mm). The internal part only (1735 x 2010mm). Printed on a series of sheets then joined together and applied on cloth (some losses and heavilly restored).
