This is a digitally enhanced, restored reproduction of a beautifully detailed antique map of Italy showing political boundaries, outlined in color as existed around 1840. Population data is in a table on the lower right. The map was published in 1844. This is one of a series of maps published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, a British organization.
I have selected interesting, old 18th and 19th century graphic images for digital restoration and editing. The images were adjusted and brightened to make the images suitable for display and other purposes. The resulting image brings out many details and landmarks, making this map a great historical reference and conversation piece.
