Litograph, 390x525 mm. Lower margin shows artists, plate number, title in French, typographical notes, and embossed stamp. Alfred Guesdon, French architect and painter is the author, A. Springer is the litographer. Fascinating bird's eye view with perspective view of Padua and environs to the southwest taken from above the Coda Longa gate. Remarkably evocative, this fine plate is taken from one of the most famous and sought-after works of Italian vedutistica of the mid-nineteenth century, the series of lithographs entitled “ L'Italie a vol d'oiseau ”. Very good state of preservation.
