Copper engraving, 230x310 mm, contemporary colouring at the borders. Uncommon. A fine example. “Taken from Atlante Generale” The most important Florentine atlas, particularly appreciated for the surprising precision in the description of both the new European borders and distant lands. As is well known, this rare atlas shows the new geopolitical structure of Europe established with the Congress of Vienna and provides an updated cartography of North and South America; there are also some historical maps with the old geographical-political conformations of Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Asia Minor and Egypt. This is the major work of Borghi, already considered by his contemporaries to be «one of the best geographers in Europe» (Vermiglioli I, 243).
