Original antique hand-colored copper engraving, from the rare atlas-townbook 'Nova et Accurata Italiae Hodiernae Descriptio', published by Abraham Elzevier in Leiden, 1627. Depicting Italy, this map is a fine example of 0s European cartography. Image: 188 by 268mm (7 by 10 inches). An attractive and historically significant 17th-century map for the discerning collector. Jodocus Hondius Junior (1594–1629) was a Dutch cartographer and publisher, son of the renowned Jodocus Hondius. He contributed to the family's atlas production and collaborated on the celebrated publication 'Nova et Accurata Italiae Hodiernae Descriptio' (1627), published in Leiden by Abraham Elzevier. This rare hybrid atlas-townbook combined regional maps of Italy with bird's-eye views and plans of Italian towns and fortifications—one of the most detailed contemporary surveys of Italy published in the 17th century. The publication is notable for combining maps with townscapes in a single volume, making it a prime source for the study of early modern Italian urban geography.This historic city view of Castella Nova shows a panoramic view towards the old fortified town with its walls and its nearby surrounding. Houses, towers, churches, city walls etc. are detailed shown. This rare historic town view was engraved by Jodocus Hondius and was published in this rare combination of an atlas and town book ‘Nova et Accurata Italiae Hodiernae Descriptio.’ for the first time in 1627. This city view is decorative ornated with a renaissance title cartouche. Further this antique print is highly decorative engraved and some of the town views from ‘Nova et Accurata Italiae.’ are engraved after earlier city views from the famous series ‘Civitates Orbis Terrarum’ by Braun & Hogenberg. Also they are occasionally ornated with rural figures in the foreground, a coat of arms, ships or a decorative landscape. This antique print is finely hand colored in wash and outline. Printed on good paper on the full sheet as published.A fine example from Nova et Accurata Italiae Hodiernae Descriptio, Leiden 1627, sought after by collectors of antique maps of Italy, antique maps of Italy, and antique hand-colored copper engravings for sale. In good condition consistent with age. Light age-toning to the sheet, as expected for a 17th-century engraving. Centerfold as published. In excellent condition. 188 by 268mm (7 by 10 inches).…
