Early Map of Aprutium (Abruzzo Italy) Petrus Bertius – 1599

Short Description

A lovely original map of Abruzzo on the central east coast of Italy. A very early map from the 1599 Dutch edition of “Caert – Thresoor” issued by Barent Langenes which preceded the edition published by Bertius himself by three years (reference expert King page 82).

Several cities are noted including San Angelo, Pescara, Ascoli, Aguila and Alba in the South. The major rivers woods and the high mountain ranges to the east are clearly defined. These Mountains, now known as the Gran Sasso D’Italia are the home of Europe’s southernmost glacier and the now hugely endangered Italian brown bear.

Map dimensions to the extent of the engraved image 135mm by 90mm. Excellent condition.

Price framed in Voyager Miniature map style in beaded gilt frame with gilt fillet (superb) $190.00 .... if you would like it unframed then enquire.
