BRAUN, Georg & HOGENBERG, Franz.

Nullus in orbe locus Baiis praelucet amoenis.

Cologne, 1574-. 345 x 490.
Fine original colour; slight wear at lower centrefold, with some soiling and staining mainly to the margins, otherwise good.
A splendid and highly decorative view of basically the Bay of Naples, looking across at what is now Pozzuoli. The Islands of Ischia and Prochijta (Procida) are named. The lettered key at the bottom gives locations of such places as; V. Moles pontis C: Caligulĉ, I. Templum Herculis. With its close location to Pompei and the garlands of flora and fruit giving the impression of plenty, we can assume that it was ideally situated as a Roman 'playground' or resort. There is a reference to the geographical source as from Abraham Ortelius and George Hoefnagel. Ortelius included in his 'Theatrum' a map of the Island of Iscia, with cartographical sources as: Giulio Iasolino. In Iasolino's book about the island (1568) he mentions the benefits of the baths, presumably Roman. This view is from volume III of Braun and nberg's 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum', the first collection of town plans.

Caricature map, published in "Geographical Fun. Humorous Outlines of Various Countries"', priced five shillings. The map was supposedly drawn by a fifteen year old girl, with the verse underneath by 'Aleph', a pseudonym for William Harvey (1796-1873). He was a popular journalist and author of 'London Scenes and London People...', published in 1863. Garibaldi, waving a flag and carrying the Cap of Liberty, makes up the whole of the Italian peninula. He towers above the enemy of Italian unification, Pope Pius IX (who introduced the doctrine of papal infallability), pictured as Sardinia. Garibaldi was always popular in Britain, attracting huge crowds on a visit. Here he is described as the "Uncompromising friend of Liberty!".
