I remember we have already treated the matter, as I remember to have already sent the information about Italian collection of geographical copperplates: - Istituto Geografico Militare, Florence, has hundreds of copperplates coming from the topographical Office of Turin, Florence and (fundamentally) Naples. Among them all the nautical production made in Naples since 1785 to 1861: Maritime Atlas, 23 copperplates (1785-1792): several harbors and bays in the Kingdom of Naples (1815-1860). - Istituto Idrografico della Marina, Genoa, has tens of copperplates of the end of the XIX century - Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica, Rome, has thousands of copperplates coming basically from the Calcografia Camerale who bought the collection of De Rossi Family in the first half of the XVIII century. They have the complete set of copperplates of the Mercurio Geografico (Cantelli da Vignola) and the Nuovo Atlante Geografico in three volumes (1792-1801) by Giovanni Maria Cassini. vladimiro Il giorno 31/ott/2010, alle ore 14.35, Charles Burroughs ha scritto: > This is a MapHist list message (when you hit 'reply' you're replying to the > whole list) > o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + > > Many, many copper plates used in the chart making process of the past were > melted down for their copper content during WW II; I believe that was > certainly the case for the old U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey. > > Charles > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf > Of Gilbert Deraedt > Sent: Sunday, October 31, 2010 8:10 AM > To: Discussion group for map history > Subject: Re: [MapHist] collections copper plates of nautical charts > > The ' Plantijn - Moretus ' museum in Antwerp does have copper plates. > > Gilbert Deraedt > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Wildeman, Diederick > To: Discussion group for map history > Sent: Friday, October 29, 2010 8:11 AM > Subject: [MapHist] collections copper plates of nautical charts > > This is a MapHist list message (when you hit 'reply' you're replying to the > whole list) > o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + > > > > Dear all. > > Until ca. the 1950-1960 many national hydrographic services produced their > nautical charts using copper plates.
