Charming pictorial map of Campania from the larger 1939 'Artistic Edition' of Giovanni De Agostini's 'Imago Italiae', containing 19 pictorial maps of the provinces of Italy. The maps' English text suggest that these volumes were published for the British or (more likely) American audience.
The capital of Campania is Naples and the region is also home to the world famous Amalfi coast. The picturesque islands of Ischia and Capri are also shown.
To produce these maps, De Agostini collaborated with Vsevolod Petrovic Nicouline, a Russian illustrator, painter and ceramicist. Nicouline fled the Bolshevik Revolution to Istanbul where he met his wife. They both travelled to Genoa, Italy and finally settled in Nervi, where he opened a studio and became a well-regarded artist.
This example is from the 1941 edition of the work.
Printed colour with gold and silver highlights. [IT3657]
