A collection of over 1,300 nineteenth-century maps published for use by tourists and cyclists. Approximately seventy-five percent of the maps depict Italian provinces, but Great Britain and other European countries (especially Switzerland and Germany) are also represented. There are a few maps of non-European countries as well. Most of the maps are mounted on linen and many are folded into cardboard cases as issued. The collection also includes a few guidebooks (published in a set with separate maps) and post card views
Most of the maps have handwritten identifying number on the cover. The number is given in the listing below, and can be used to find an individual map within a given box. It is unknown what the numbering scheme is, and who created it.
