Catalogue Note
Whilst the subjects of the plates are generally the same in these two octavo editions of Coronelli (cf. lot 25, above), the treatment and detail is often quite different and occasionally the plates themselves differ (here for example there is a plate of Athens, not present in the Italian edition).
