In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Good. Printed to 17th century Italian watermarked paper, extended prior to printing. Trimmed to border on right; left border trimmed, with no cartographic loss. The lower border is missing roughly 1 cm between the scale and the graticules along the lower border with no loss of geographic content. The trim is nearly i…nvisible and as enigmatic as the reset of the map. We suspect this work was done by an early, perhaps contemporaneous, binder to make the map fit into a report or composite atlas. Else a beautiful example with a bold, sharp strike. Size 17.756 x 24 Inches. This is a rare, enigmatic, separately issued, c. 1612 Italian map of northern Italy and southern Switzerland. It details the balance of power in a region of vital strategic importance, complicated sharply by the ambitions of local powers - in particular, those of the Gonzaga Dukes of Mantua and Montferrat. While the map could have been produced as early as 1608, we suspect it is in response to the dynastic and political crisis caused by the successive deaths in 1612 of Mantua's Duke Vincenzo I Gonzaga (February 9, 1612) and his successor Francesco IV Gonzaga (December 22, 1612). These deaths set the stage for the successive northern Italian wars of the 17th century: the War of the Montferrat Succession (1613 - 1617), the Valtellina War (1620 - 1626), and the War of the Mantuan Succession (1628 - 1631). A Closer Look This large copperplate map covers the watershed of the Po River, encompassing not only Lombardy, but the Pennine Mountains to the south, and the Alps to the north and west, reaching from Geneva to the Adriatic and south to encompass Liguria and the Gulf of Genoa. It centers on the Po Valley, boldly emphasizing the fortified strongpoints of Milan, Brescia, Mantua, and Casale Monferrato (Casal). To the north are the beautifully engraved Alps, particularly the strategic Alpine Valtellina, a primary corridor of the Spanish Road, extending eastward between northern Lake Como towards Borghetto and Trento. The engraving is distinctive and informative, representing an improvement upon the maps of the previous century. The uniform 'molehill' representations of mountains characterizing late 16th-century maps are replaced with pictorial mountains varying in size and steepness. The relatively low Pennines are thus presented in sharp contrast to the Alps. The map clearly communicates the idea of the Alps as a barrier and highlights the strategic importance of the key passes. This map represents a puzzle but rewards forensic analysis. There is nothing added to identify the mapmaker or to date the work. The scholarship surrounding the map has been unable to identify an author or propose other work by the same hand. The paper is watermarked and is consistent with Italian paper of the 17th century. Overall, it is elegant and finely engraved in a distinctive style unique to this piece - note, in particular, the gently contoured hachure rendering its Alpine topography, and the neat Roman lettering. The presence of rule lines and scratch marks on the sheet suggests a very early strike off the plate, possibly a proof. The map also reveals significant re-engraving, with some locations removed and others added. This secondary work is comparatively sloppy, a sharp contrast to the remainder of the map. These additions, and the absence of any decorative embellishment, suggest to us a painstaking work abruptly completed in haste and rushed to publication. These changes are: Forte di Fuentes - A Milanese Habsburg fort built from 1603 - 1609 at the mouth of the Adda River to dominate the Pian di Spagna and the strategic Trivio di Fuentes, the crossroads between the Valtellina, the Valchiavenna, and the Alto Lario Valleys. Valenza - Located on the Po River just 12 miles east of Casale, Valenza was added at the expense of Bassignana, a larger town, the name of which was crudely effaced from the plate just below. Valenza controlled a crossing of the Po, heavily fortified by Milan-Ha.
