[Milan] Tabula Geographica in qua Integri Ducatus Mediolanensis …

Interesting map of Duchy of Milan and Kingdom of Venice centered on Lago di Garda.
The map provides a remarkably detailed topographical view of the region north of the Alpennines, including the thriving commercial and agricultural regions from Turin and Milan to the low lying regions west of Venice, with many postal roads and other details shown. The map includes an elaborate title cartouche reflecting the military activity in the mountainous regions of the map, including an image of a cannon and soldier being hoisted up a steep cliff, an allegorical representation of the battles being waged between the Habsburgs to the north and the various powerful Italian families to the south during the first half of the 18th Century.
