Original 18th-Century Map of Southern Austria, Carinthia, Carniola, and Styria

About the Item

title: 18th-Century Map of Southern Austria, Carinthia, Carniola, and Styria by Robert de Vaugondy Description: This finely engraved 18th-century map by Gilles Robert de Vaugondy showcases the southern part of the Austrian Circle, encompassing regions of modern-day Austria and Slovenia, including Styria (Steiermark), Carinthia (Kärnten), Carniola (Krain), and parts of the Istrian Peninsula. The map details topographical features, rivers, cities, and political divisions with hand-colored borders. The Gulf of Venice (Golfe de Venise) is prominently featured to the southwest, highlighting coastal settlements. This map reflects the territorial organization under the Habsburg Monarchy during the late Holy Roman Empire, a period of significant military conflicts, including the Ottoman Wars, and economic shifts as trade routes evolved. The cartouche, elegantly decorated with floral motifs and imperial symbols, underscores the importance of these lands within the greater Austro-Hungarian sphere. Condition: The map is in good condition, with minor signs of aging, slight discoloration in margins, and minimal foxing. The engraving remains sharp, with well-preserved hand-coloring delineating borders. Some typical wear along the edges is present but does not affect the printed area. Framing tips: To preserve this historical piece, consider using archival-quality materials, including acid-free matting and UV-resistant glass to prevent fading. A classic gold or dark wood frame complements the map’s period aesthetic, while a wider mat border can emphasize its details. If displaying in a well-lit space, opt for museum-grade non-reflective glass to enhance clarity.
