This comes from the mid 1700's, around 1733 (there's a typed sticker on back, attributing it to the  Mr. Tindal's Continuation of Mr. Rapin's History, dating it as 1751).

It's titled;

A Map of Italy

with it's Kindoms, States & c.

from the latest & best Observations

For Mr. Tindal's Continuation of Mr. Rapin's History

It measures approximately 18.5" x 15", is Mahogany framed and bordered, depicting Italy, showing towns, villages, roads and rivers, with a Legend for;

Capital Cities

Archbishopricks

Bishopricks

Universities

Castles

Principality

Dukedom

Republick

Along with Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica, it additionally, shows parts of France, Switzerland, Germany, Crotia, Bosnia, and Turkey, offering a Legend of "Italian and British Miles, 60 to a Degree" and "German League, 15 to a Degree"

It's in good condition, some minor soiling, a few spots, in the center, just below the middle.

There's a sticker on back, from a framer dating this at/around 1751

At some point in time, some color was added to this, as originally was without color (it looks to be done in watercolor paint, outlining the border, and the title border)
