Pub Note:
This is probably the second edition of Rizzin Zannoni's Atlante Geografico del Regno di Napoli, first issued in 1808 (see our 6854.000). Date is estimated at 1820 based on the title page dedication for Ferdinando IV who replaced Napolean in the title of the first edition 1808. Ferdinando reigned until 1825. Rizzi Zannoni (1736-1814) worked for over 20 years in Naples, first as a Geographer of the King and then director of the Topographical Office in Naples in 1781. The maps are based on trigonometric survey and represent a new level of accuracy for Italian mapping. The Cassini projection is used. Title vignette on plate 2. Original dates of the plates are given next to the engraver (Giuseppe Guerra) and were published between 1788 and 1812.
