Les Estats du Duche de Milan
A map of the extent of the old Duchy of Milan including Lago di Como and Lago Maggiore together with Pavia.
The map also shows the Duchy's borders with Piedmont, Venice, Parma and the Republic of Genoa.
De Fer (1646-1720) was the son of a prominent engraver and produced his first map in 1669. He joined his father's business in 1673 and ultimately took over in 1687. He was a prolific map maker who produced over six hundred separate maps in multiple forms; as separate issues, bound within history and travel books, and as atlases. In the late 17th century he was made Geographer to the Dauphin.[IT3577]
