Hand colored copper engraving atlas map on laid paper, 1787, by Clouet, J. B. L. (Jean-Baptiste Louis,) entitled "Etats du Roy de Sardaigne. (with) Isle de Sardaigne". A beautiful map, with inset, showing the northwest corner of Italy, with descriptions and historical notes of various places in text on each side of map. Very early, perhaps 18th C, notations were made on the map, appearing to show a journey across the northern part, with place names and other names written in, and what looks like a wall or road drawn in one area. This evidence of early practical use, (all written in a neat hand, easy to miss unless you look for it,) adds interest to an already intriguing antique map. In handsome wood frame. Frame, approx. 29" x 201/4". Sight, approx. 22" x 13".
