ROME WITH ITS ENVIRONS: original published c. 1850 by Fullarton
& Co, London & Edinburgh, based upon the 1845 and 1846 surveys by Baron
Moltke. Drawn by Augustus Petermann. F. R. G. S., and engraved by G. H. Swanston,
this is an astonishingly highly detailed map, although its small size, (9"
x 5.5"/230mm x 140mm) means that a good-quality magnifying glass is required
to appreciate this! Our reproduction, printed on A3 Super paper, is enlarged by
approximately 100%, greatly enhancing the original’s clarity.
