Detailed map of Genoa & Liguria

MAGGI, Gia. Battista.

Carta Corografica della divisione di Genova.
Turin, Maggi, 1858. Original colour. Dissected and laid on linen as issued, 565 x 725mm.

Folding map of Liguria, then part of the Kingdom of Sardinia, with seven inset town plans, including Genoa, Bobbio, Albenga, Savona, Chiavari, Novi and Spezia. Despite the date of 1858 the dedication to King Charles Albert would suggest that it was originally published before the 1849 revolt against Austria, after which he abdicated, dying shortly afterwards in exile.
