Description:
In the field of map making, prospective views or panoramas of cities hold a reserved but not secondary place in the field of artistic map-making production. Most such views of cities of the 18th century are characterized by a title decoration with the name of the city that appears written on parchment paper.The representation reveals sharp outlines and masterfully drawn perspective.
Engraving Information:
This artistic reproduction of a vintage map was made using modern graphic procedures, but obtaining the results found in the antique copperplate engraving technique, as one can easily find out by lightly rubbing his/her finger on the map. This map, which is an exact reproduction of the original antique, is printed on cotton paper panels which are glued and mounted on a cotton cloth background "a stacchi" (slightly separated from each other), in order to allow for folding and easier transport. Finally, map is water-colored by hand making it a truly unique piece, worthy of the original old print.
