Lot 209 | MILANO - MAPPA DEGLI ASTRONOMI DI BRERA
[MILANO - MAPPA DEGLI ASTRONOMI DI BRERA] - DE ANTONI, Gaetano - Iconografia della città di Milano rilevata l'anno 1807 sotto la direzione de' Sig.ri Astronomi di Brera in scala da uno a mille sul terreno e copiata da me sottoscritto l'anno 1810. Milan: 1810.

A monumental copy on a larger scale (1: 500) of the famous "Mappa degli Astronomi di Brera", extremely detailed and finely crafted. The various topographic sections are accompanied by an allegorical title in which Fame and Time ideally crown the City, also of excellent workmanship, which suggests an important commission and the use of a good artist. The size of the map makes it possible to appreciate and investigate in detail the topography of Napoleonic Milan at the beginning of the century which would have seen it expand enormously; it is also curious to note how pencil corrections were subsequently made in the points where the urban layout had changed or where new buildings and new streets had arisen.
.

(4200 x 3870mm). Large map divided in 39 sheets numbered I-XXXIX (540 x 695mm the single sheets), a sheet with title within a decorative manuscript border and a leaf with the legend, all applied on cloth (light wear, few minimal tears, some soliling sometimes heavier in the margins). Within a contemporary portfolio backed in calf with title on label (worn, spine detached).
