Beautiful, antique map of Ancient Italy, from the time of the Romans. This is an authentic 1830 engraving, published in the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Information Atlas. This map is original and is NOT a reproduction.

See what Italy looked like more than 2000 years ago, as depicted in the 1830s. Hand colored. Verso is blank. Lots of intricate, charming details like mountains, deserts, lakes, canals, rivers and older city and region names.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Features

The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) was founded in 1826 with the object of publishing information to people who were unable to obtain formal teaching, or who preferred self-education. Their publications were intended for the working class and the middle class, as an antidote to the more radical output of the pauper presses.

Condition: Good Vintage condition, commensurate with age. This map is in great shape for being more than 185 years old. Light edge-wear, smudges & spots and toning as can be seen in the photographs, but this will read as vintage character when framed. Missing bottom left margin area piece is easily-concealed by placing a similar-colored paper behind the missing margin when framing, as seen in the photos.
