“There’s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination. I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I’m born to leave.” Charlotte Eriksson ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have a love for travel? To remind you daily of your never ending wanderlust, have in your home a gorgeous old map of your dream destination. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A plan of the city of Rome, Indicating all of the Antiquities and New Decorations by Venanzio Monaldini, 1829. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The views are of both Roman ruins such as the Pantheon of Agrippa, Trajan’s Column, and the Colosseum (called here “Anfiteatro di Flavio”), and important city buildings such as St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican, the Campidoglio, and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. The central map shows streets, plazas, significant buildings, and landmarks, with a key in the lower-left indicating some major monuments. A compass is drawn in the lower right. Beside it is a list of 14 neighborhoods of Rome, along with the map’s publication information. → Old Maps Library reprint, 2022 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Old Maps Library specialises in the reprint of Vintage Maps and Illustrations between the 17th to 19th centuries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ We have a beautiful collection of Old Maps and Vintage Illustrations on our website.
