Description:
Matteo Florimi was an Italian mapmaker of the 17th century. This Map of Milan is characterized by sharp outlines and a legend at the lower edge that provides precise numerical reference to the major points of interest and monuments.
Engraving Information:
This artistic reproduction of an antique map was made using the same techniques, materials and instruments used for the original. Map is created from a zinc slab that is mounted on a wooden base and printed by hand, a piece at the time, on a press with a limited production size of 20 pieces each time. Map 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 vintage map.Useful Links (provided by Wikipedia):
