"Ober- und Mittel-Italien" (Upper and Central Italy), dated 1869 - a significant moment in the unification of Italy, just a few years after the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
The map is notable for its topographical detail, with mountain ranges, rivers, and valleys meticulously outlined. The fine shading and use of contour lines predate the modern techniques of relief depiction. The Ligurian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea are prominently featured along with the Gulf of Genoa
