Copperplate engraving, mm 385x530, contemporary outline hand colour, later finished with body colour. From the uncommon historical atlas "Tabulae geographicae quibus universa geographia" published in 1699. The Seminary Printing House was founded in 1680 by Gregorio Barbarigo, Bishop of Padua; its activity began in 1684 publishing numerous works, among which the above atlas should undoubtedly be mentioned as one of the main ones. Very good condition with a few stains in the margins and one in the engraving and some oxidation in the margins, interesting notes in the right margin
