A truly 'ginormous' production, this is Giuseppe Civelli's great map of Italy, here in its 1853 edition. The map measures nearly 100 inches high and 80 inches wide, making it one of the largest maps we have seen. This map was issued in the early days of the Italian Risorgimento (1848 - 1871) and can be seen as a unique symbol aspiring to a newly ascendant sense of shared Italian national identity. The map embraces the whole of the Italian peninsula and Sicily, as well as Corsica, Sardinia, Dalmatia, Malta, North Africa, and the northern Italian states. Along the top of the map, there appears a detailed comparative elevation chart. Throughout the detail is staggering, making this great work the finest map of Italy to appear in the 19th century.
