A magnificent frontispiece to Blaeu's townbook of Italy showing a
personified Savoy in female form - she is surrounded by the accoutrements of justice and virtue, while in the background an indication of the region's geography and industry is given. "Sabaudia Velocis Iustitiae Et Mavortiae Virtutis Antiqua Sedes". The image was created by G.Lairesse and was engraved by Gerard Valck, whose signature appears in the lower right
corner. Our example shows a more modest Savoy than was originally intended - her bare breasts have had an intricate bodice manuscripted on. With the stamp of a previous (library) owner in the margin.
