"Larii Lacus culgo Comensis Descriptio" Lago di Como, Lake of Como, Comersee

Copper etching by Paolo Jovio. Hand-colored. Published in "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" by Abraham Ortelius. Verso text: Latin. Antwerp, ca. 1570.

This map was actually published together with a small map of Friaul and another small map of the area around Rome on one atlas page. This particular Lake of Como was once separated and the lower margin widened.

It is a lovely depiction of the famous lake in Northern Italy. West-oriented it shows the entire length of the lake with a staffage of boats and even a sea monster. The city of Como is shown in a well defined bird's eye view.

The hand coloring is quiteattractive. The condition is very good. Only the fact that the above mentioned two little maps, which were originally a part of the atlas page, are missing is unfortunate. But for anyone who loves Lake Como this is a very desireable and very antique map of it, the first ever to be published in an atlas.
