• DESCRIPTION: Gio. Tommaso Masi's Plano della Città di Quebec (1763) is a finely engraved Italian map of Quebec City, published in Livorno as part of Il Gazzettiere Americano. Issued just after Britain took control of the city following the Seven Years' War, the map provides a detailed view of Quebec as it was under its new rulers. A numbered key identifies twenty-seven points of interest, showcasing the city's fortifications, streets, and significant buildings. This map serves as both a historical document and a visual record of Quebec at a pivotal moment in its transition from French to British rule.
