Catalogue Note
This plan was the first of Venice based on an accurate field survey, with its size allowing for considerable detail, and served as the prototype for all plans of Venice almost to the end of the century. According to Moretto it is an "orthographic plan of great scientific, documentary, and ornamental value".
