Specialist Notes

Composite atlas that includes a table of Italian Switzerland, of the Papal State, & nbsp; of the Lombard Veneto Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Attilio Zuccagni Orlanidini was a geographer and statistician, born in Fiesole in July 1784, who died in Florence on November 25, 1872. From the first Atlas centered on Tuscany (1828-'32), I came to the idea of extending his graphic illustration to descriptive all of Italy within its natural borders, a work whose publication I announced in 1835 and which was completed in 1845. The lot is sold as a collection of tables and is not liable to return.
