A scarce 17th century plan of Milan

STEUDNER, Johann Philipp.

Meyland in Italien.
German, c.1690. Sheet 270 x 360mm.

Trimmed within plate, minor repairs.

A town plan of Milan in the form of a bird's-eye view, based on Braun & Hogenberg but updated with a 73 point key, from Steudner's 'Beschreibung von Städten'. Upper right is the 'biscione', a grass snake eating a child, the arms of the Visconti family and the city. A good impression of a rare map.
