This planimetric and perspective map of the city of Palermo, created using the copper engraving technique in 1730, is the work of the German publisher, cartographer, and engraver from Augsburg, Gabriel Bodenehr.
The piece is part of the renowned collection Curioses Staats und Kriegs Theatrum beeder königreich Neapolis und Sicilien, published around 1730. The collection focuses on the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily, offering a combination of geographical maps, topographical views, and illustrations related to historical and military events of these regions. For instance, engravings of Messina and Palermo are well known from this work. This project belongs to the genre of Theatrum (“theatres”), a popular format in the early modern period that presented geographical, historical, and political knowledge through images and texts. The Curioses Staats und Kriegs Theatrum beeder königreich Neapolis und Sicilien stands as an important cartographic and iconographic testimony of the 18th century, providing valuable visual insights into the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily at the time.
