"Novissima & exactissimus Totius Regni Neapolis Tabula Presentis Belli Satui Accommo Data" is a hand colored map of southern Italy and the ancient Kingdom of Naples created by Johann Baptist Homann, published in Nuremberg, Germany in 1710. It depicts the Italian "boot" and the northern portions of Sicily. It includes Naples, Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast, the Isle of Capri, as well as the Adriatic coast of southern Italy. There is a striking decorative cartouche in the right upper corner that includes a knight on a flying horse, two sword wielding cherubs, an apparently royal woman and a smoldering Mt. Vesuvius in the background. A second cartouche in the right lower corner depicts two cherubs (one holding a sword) flanking a coat-of-arms, a distance scale and smoke billowing from Mt. Vesuvius in the background.
There is a central horizontal fold as issued. There are occasional small faint spots but the map is otherwise in very good condition. less
