Description
A fine ,very rarely contempory colored ! map.Coronelli's maps are rarely to be found in contempory color ! From an Italian oldcolored composite atlas , otherwise usually found in Coronelli’s Corso Geografico Universale published in Venice in 1690, or similar works.
A richly engraved map showing the Mughal Empire from the border with Persia to the border with China, encompassing much of present day Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the northern part of India and Burma with the Himalayan regions. Some of the more interesting early place names include Cabulistan, Kandauna, Harduari, Binsola, Burchar, Kachemire, Iamba, Ragepor, and others.
In the top corners are cartouches for title and dedication to Girolamo Correr, both with a martial theme. Engraved in Coronelli's unique style.
The remarkable Vincenzo Coronelli (1650-1718), is widely recognised as one of Italy?s most famous and greatest cartographers. He received an ecclesiastical education at the convent of the Minor Conventuals and also studied theology in Rome. However, his interests in geography and cartography were awoken early in his ecclesiastical career and never suppressed. He made very famous globes (including an impressive very large-scale pair for Louis XIV) and some of the most interesting and decorative atlases of all 17th century like Atlante Veneto, Isolario, Corso Geografico Universale, Libro dei Globi and also some pocket books about towns and islands. These important works are all finely engraved in his unique style with high quantity of toponymic and historical information. In 1680 Coronelli also founded the oldest surviving geographical society “The Argonauts Accademy”.
