(Switzerland) Nouvelle Carte De La Suisse dans laquelle sont..., Faden, 1799 A stunning large engraving for one of the bigger cartographic challenges in depicting the lands of Europe, mapping the terrain of Switzerland. This detailed, dark copperplate engraving illustrates the Alps and valleys, the lakes and drainages, as well as the roads, cities towns and canton boundaries. It's an amazing work, complimented by nice cartouches. Condition is fair with some repaired marginal tears, and some at top that just reach into the image. Some minor loss at the junction of the centerfold. Image size is approximately 25.25 x 33.25 (inches)
