Coronelli's port plan of Toulon, France

Tolon celle Proposte, e Nuove Fortificaxioni

DESCRIPTION: A fine and rare engraved chart from Coronelli's "Teatro della Guerra" with a plan of Toulon, France along the northern Mediteranean coast. This nice antique engraved chart shows two distinct anchorages for ships: "Porto per i Vascelli de Re" for the King's vessels and "Porto per i Vascelli di Mercanzia" for merchant vessels. The small town of Tolon (Toulon) is shown heavily fortified with then-modern Vauban style walls.

This small well-engraved antique chart is from Coronelli's Teatro della Guerra. TEATRO DELLA GUERRA, DIVISO IN XXXXVIII. PARTI, IN CUI SONO ESATTAMENTE DELINEATI, E COMPENDIOSAMENTE DESCRITTI SIN L'ANNO M.DCC. NAPLES, 1706. (See also our smaller-scale chart of the entire Toulon harbor by Coronelli). Page 8.

Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718), is considered as one of Italy's most famous and greatest cartographers and cosmographers to the Republic of Venice.
