 This rare plan of the city of Lucca, engraved by Pierre Mortier, was published in his renowned volume dedicated to Italian cities. The map is oriented with west at the top, a cartographic detail typical of the period, and offers a rich and precise depiction of the Tuscan city. It shows the fortified walls, access gates, main streets, squares, buildings, and other urban features, making it one of the few historic views of Lucca still reasonably available on the market.

Pierre Mortier, a Dutch engraver and publisher of French origin, was one of the leading figures in European cartography at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. After receiving the privilege to print French maps in the Netherlands, he published important atlases and city views, including the Neptune François. This plan of Lucca is a refined example of Baroque cartographic art, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of Italian urban history.
