From Verona, Padua and Venice to the Dolomites around Cortina, maps of the Veneto span early engraved regional sheets and striking twentieth-century mountain panoramas. Bertius and Langenes mapped the country around Verona and Padua, while Vsevolode Nicouline’s pictorial regional mapping and Heinrich Berann’s panoramas, in ski and summer versions, turn the Alpine north into routes for visitors. Belluno, Cadore, Agordo and the Comelico recur, and material associated with Cortina’s Winter Olympics adds a mid-century sporting note. The prints include Münster’s historical illustrations of flooding.
