Description
Fine city view engraving of Strasburg, France by Thomas Salmon. Published in Rome by Giambattista Albrizzi in 1740.
Giambattita Albrizzi was a famous Venetian publisher and cartographer that lived from 1698 to 1777.
Giambattista Albrizzi (1698-1777)
Giambattista Albrizzi, was an Italian publisher and journalist active in Venice during the mid-18th century. Albrizzi was the scion of a well-established Venetian publishing dynasty and followed in the footsteps of his father, Girolamo Albrizzi, who founded the family printing business and is known for publishing the work of the great Venetian cartographer Vincenzo Coronelli.His maps often featured elaborate decorative elements designed by Piazzeta. By integrating these decorative elements, Albrizzi hoped to revive the reputation of Venetian publishing, which, since the late 17th century, had fallen in regard since the days of Girolamo. His work helped lay the foundations for Italian school decorative cartography in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, including the work of Antonio Zatta, among others. In addition to his work as a map and book publisher, he issued a weekly journal, Novelle della Repubblica delle Lettere, an early newspaper that played an important role in Venetian business and intellectual life.

We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century, then "colored", or "attractive colors" will be used.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
