Description
Precious cartographic work, International Atlas of the Italian Touring Club with a dedication printed to Benito Mussolini, head of the Italian government in 1927.
Work drawn up in the G. Ricordi & C. workshops in Milan, begun in 1927 and authorized for printing in 1929.
It consists of two handcrafted bound volumes, with rigid rib and page edges in purple gold. The first volume presents the political, physical, road and transport tables, as well as detailed maps of the cities. The tables, although the book is "over size", are extremely large, and in a foldable format.
It consists of 170 main tables and 130 partial and developing maps (given the time), obviously the state borders and main lines were very different from today. The second volume collects the indexes of the tables and the names of the cartography used in the first volume.
The second volume also contains the certificates of literary and artistic property, the registration date and the year of publication. In the preface (fifth page) the letter of dedication to the head of the government of Italy, who had commissioned it, Benito Mussolini. From this letter it is clear that the work, desired complete and of excellence, cost 10 years of work. (from 1917 to 1927)
The majesty of this work is completed with the series "Le vie d'Italia" composed of 7 files, containing 53 tables drawn up in 1923, on which the entire mobility network (roads, railways, ports etc ...) of the kingdom of Italy of the time.
This topographical collection is complete and in excellent condition.
On the back of the tables, as well as on the binders, the company advertisements of the time are printed ... Many of those companies that were born at the time as small local and artisanal businesses, are now multinationals, while others have disappeared.
Complete the receipt with the thank you for the purchase.
The two-volume work was not for sale, but reserved only for life-long members of the T.C.I., and for members of the government of the Kingdom of Italy.
The "Le vie d'Italia" series was a collection of which each issue (7 issues in all) cost in the year 1923 Lire 120 in Italy (equal to the current Euro 115), while abroad the price doubled in Lire 240 (equal to the current Euro 230) each.
The conditions are excellent. There are no cracks, scribbles or traces of mold.
Pregiata Opera cartografica, Atlante Internazionale del Touring Club Italiano con dedica stampata a Benito Mussolini, capo del Governo d'Italia nel 1927.
Opera redatta nelle officine G. Ricordi & C. di Milano cominciata nel 1927 e autorizzata alla stampa nel 1929.
Si compone di due volumi rilegati artigianalmente, con costola rigida e bordi pagina in oro porporino. Il primo volume presenta le tavole politiche, fisiche, stradali e di trasporto, oltre che dettagliate delle città. Le tavole, sebbene il libro sia “over size”, sono estremamente grandi, ed in formato ripiegabile.
Si compone di 170 tavole principali e 130 carte parziali ed in via di sviluppo (data l’epoca), ovviamente i confini statali e le linee principali erano ben differenti dalle odierne. Il secondo volume raccoglie gli indici delle tavole ed i nomi della cartografia utilizzata nel primo volume.
Il secondo volume contiene inoltre i certificati di proprietà letteraria ed artistica, la data di registro e l’anno di edizione. In prefazione (quinta pagina) la lettera di dedica al capo del governo d’Italia, che lo aveva commissionato, Benito Mussolini. Da tale lettera si evince che l’opera, voluta completa e d’eccellenza, costò ben 10 anni di lavoro. (dal 1917 al 1927)
La maestosità di quest’opera si completa con la collana “ Le vie d’Italia” composta da 7 fascicoli, contenenti 53 tavole redatte nel 1923, sulle quali è rappresentata l’intera rete di mobilità (strade, ferrovie, porti etc…) del regno d’Italia dell’epoca.
Questa raccolta topografica è completa ed in ottimo stato.
Sul retro delle tavole, così come sui raccoglitori, sono riportate a stampa le pubblicità aziendali dell’epoca… Molte di quelle aziende che allora nascevano come piccole realtà locali ed artigianali, oggi sono realtà multinazionali, mentre altre sono scomparse.
Completa il tutto la ricevuta con il ringraziamento per l’acquisto.
L’opera in due volumi non era in vendita, ma riservata unicamente ai soci vitalizi del T.C.I., ed ai membri del governo del Regno d’Italia.
La collana “Le vie d’Italia”, era una raccolta di cui ogni fascicolo (7 fascicoli in tutto) costava nell’anno 1923 Lire 120 in Italia (pari agli attuali Euro 115), mentre all’estero il prezzo raddoppiava in Lire 240 (pari agli attuali Euro 230) caduno.
Le condizioni sono eccellenti. Non ci sono rotture, scarabocchi o tracce di muffa.
