"Rupes Allobrogum vulgo La Roche" by Dutch engraver Coenraet Decker (1650-1685) is from the atlas Theatrum Statuum Regiae Celestudinis Sabaudiae Ducis, published in 1682. This richly hand colored engraving represents a bird's-eye view of the city plan of La Roche-sur-Foron, originally presented in Johannes Blaeu's (1599-1673) Theatrum Civitatum et Admirandorum Italiae (Town Book of Italy), depicting city views of Italy's Savoy and Piedmont regions. The town of La Roche was, at the time this view was created, a part of Italy, but the Savoy region was annexed by France in 1792.
The double-page extensively colored engraving's title is displayed on flowing ornamental streamers, as would be found waving from an ancient knight's lance. Putti flank a colorful coat of arms. It is presented in a silver frame with a hand colored pale green French mat with a cranberry-colored highlight band. There is a vertical center fold, as issued. The map is in excellent condition. There are small abrasions and chips to the frame. less
