Historic Map - Italy - Thomson 1814 - 23 x 28.67

Description: Sites/facts specific to this historical international map are: an example of John Thomson's 1814 map of Italy. Thomson's map of Italy covers peninsular Italy from the Alps to Calabria as well as the adjacent islands of Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica. Parts of northern Africa and the Dalmatian coast are also included. Relief is shown in hachures with towns, cities, and major topographical features identified. Thomson issued this map shortly after the dissolution of Napoleon's empire in Europe. Following Napoleon's exile to Elba, shown here as an inset in the upper right quadrant, Italy was divided between Austria, the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Nonetheless, a sense of national solidarity has begun to emerge and the subsequent popular uprisings throughout the peninsula would soon lead to a new Kingdom of Italy and the Italian unification movement. This map is a steel plate engraving by Scott Robert and was prepared by John Thomson for inclusion in the 1814 edition of Thomson's New General Atlas. This antique map reproduction is situated in: Continent of Europe. OWN A PIECE OF YOUR HOME COUNTRY - Looking for something that reminds you of the country you or your ancestors originate from?
