Puzzle Roma17.50€The Nova Topografia di Roma by Nolli is, undoubtedly, one of the most remarkable maps about Rome ever made. The large-scale map was designed by Giovanni Battista Nolli, an Italian engineer and architect, in 1748, in collaboration with Giovanni Battista Piranesi, and dedicated to Pope Benedict XIV. The remarkable original size, 176 x 208 cm, was achieved by the juxtaposition of 12 sheets, offering a representation of the city, with vivid detail on its streets, churches and other monuments, including more than 300 churches’ floor plans. Additionally, the map featured an index of the most remarkable buildings of Rome, “Delle Fabbriche più ragguardevoli contenute nella Pianta”. The map quickly became an urban representation model due to its topographical accuracy and planimetric richness. Nolli’s Rome map is still a significant reference to the cartographic production.

Puzzle Porto17.50€This high quality puzzle reproduce a city map of Oporto drawn in 1833 by the architect W. B. Clarke for the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (UK) and published on an atlas by Baldwin & Cradock. The SDUK was founded in 1826 by Lord Henry Brougham, a british statesman that believed in the promotion of self-education and the disclosure of the knowledge for the working classes as for the bourgeoisie that could not make use of experienced teachers. The SDUK publications were dealing with useful subjects as history, geography, zoology in an easy way to support those who had just learned to read to improve their reading skills and knowledge. Among several publications, the SDUK published some extraordinarily detailed atlas. At the time there was nothing like that anywhere in the world for its quality and price.
