Corfù ville de la republique de Venise
(Korfu)
Es handelt sich hierbei um einen originalen, kolorierten Kupferstich-Plan Korfus von Pierre Mortier aus dem Jahr 1724.
A scarce and very decorative plan of Corfu. The engraving shows the town and it's fortifications with high attention to detail. 42 areas are named in a key. Corfu was under the control of the Republic of Venice from 1386 to 1797 and served as a heavily fortified stronghold against potential attacks from the Ottoman empire. The plan is enriched by a compass-rose and a number of sailingships on the ocean. It is in very good condition and derives from the book "Nouveau Theatre de l'Italie", P. Mortier 1724. (after a map by Blaeu). Reference: Koeman, Atlantes Neerlandici, vol. III, Mor 8.
