Etat de la Republique de Genes
The Ligurian coast centred on Genoa but stretching from Monaco in the west to the Gulf of Spezia in the east.
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.[IT3579]
