Informazioni sull’articolo

Title: Antique Map of Switzerland and the Alps of Savoy & Piedmont, 1903, with Intricate Topographical Detail Description: This beautifully engraved antique map, titled "Switzerland and the Alps of Savoy & Piedmont," was published in 1903 by the distinguished cartographic firm W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It offers a stunning depiction of Switzerland and the adjacent alpine regions of Savoy and Piedmont, capturing the breathtaking beauty and complex topography of this iconic European landscape. The map’s rich detailing combines elegant pastel coloring with delicate engraved lines to show political boundaries, mountain ranges, rivers, and lakes. Switzerland’s famous cities, such as Zurich, Geneva, and Bern, are clearly marked, along with major transportation routes and railway lines that were critical to the region’s development in the early 20th century. The map also extends to the picturesque French and Italian Alps, providing a comprehensive view of one of Europe’s most beloved mountain regions. One of the most captivating features of this map is the intricate depiction of the Alps. The shading and linework convey the dramatic elevation changes, highlighting the grandeur and rugged beauty of the alpine peaks and valleys. This topographical precision not only makes the map a valuable historical document but also a striking work of art that captures the awe-inspiring landscape. For collectors, historians, and lovers of alpine scenery, this map is a window into a time when Europe’s mountains were both a natural wonder and a symbol of national pride. It speaks to the era’s fascination with exploration, mountaineering, and the expanding infrastructure that brought these once-remote areas into closer connection with the world.

Framing tips: A classic wooden frame in walnut or dark oak will complement the rich detail and warm pastel tones of this map.
