Braun, Georg And Hogenberg View Map Puteoli With Baiae 1575
Item History & Price
This is a hand colored, double page, copper engraved map.. The engraving measures 19" x 11". Some toning throughout the margins and creasing! There is a verticle fold through the center. Engraving is on backing paper. Two bird's-eye views of Pozzuoli (Puteoli) above and Baia (Baiae) below. Both maps show the two cities as located on the Gulf of Naples. The numerous ships around Pozzuoli reference its history as an important port, while in the view of Baia, the remains of an ancien...t Roman thermal bath can be seen. In a couple days the price will increase to $575, which is still a more than reasonable price. The whole of the Gulf of Naples can be seen between the two views from The Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Atlas of Cities of the World) by Hogenberg.
