Description

This beautifully detailed 1866 Johnson's Map of Italy depicts the Italian peninsula, its major islands — Sardinia, Sicily, and Malta — along with surrounding Mediterranean waters, rendered in soft pink, green, teal, and yellow hand-color style. Published by Johnson and Ward, the map charts Italy's regional political divisions during a pivotal moment in history, just after the Risorgimento unification movement reshaped the country, including the Kingdom of Italy, Venetia, Piedmont, Lombardy, and the Papal States. Its ornate decorative border and crisp cartographic typography give it a timeless antique character that suits study, library, or travel-themed décor.
