The upper and lower four sheets joined as one. With title cartouche scene by J. Webber. Map is on four sheets, joined as two. "This large and detailed map shows the political make-up of North Italy and central Europe at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It most notably marks the newly formed Italian Republic (the vassal state of the French Republic), which would in 1805 become the Kingdom of Italy. The map also depicts Swiss cantons - which were in the process of being reorganized under the guidance of Napoleon." (Lyon and Turnbull). The title cartouche is constructed from a beautiful view of the village of Chamouny (Chamonix) by J. Webber, 1787.

The title cartouche is constructed from a beautiful view of the village of Chamouny (Chamonix) by J. Webber, 1787. This map shows Arrowsmith's dense cartographic style used in areas where the landscape was known (Europe) as contrasted to his sparse style where much of the landscape was unknown (Americas, Africa).
