Antique Map of Ancient Sicily (1714) — Guillaume de L’Isle, Siciliae Antiquae, Paris

Engraved and published in Paris by Guillaume de L’Isle in 1714, this exquisite map, Siciliae Antiquae quae et Sicania et Trinacria dicta tabula geographica, depicts ancient Sicily, together with Malta, the Lipari Islands, and an inset view of ancient Syracuse (Veterum Syracusarum typus).
Rendered with delicate outline color and pictorial relief, it reflects the scientific precision and classical artistry that defined De L’Isle’s pioneering approach to cartography.

Issued from his atelier on the Quai de l’Horloge, this map illustrates the geography of Sicily during antiquity, a land shaped by Greek colonists, Roman rule, and mythic tradition.
Restored and printed on archival paper, it stands as a testament to the Enlightenment’s union of scholarship and beauty, a masterwork of early 18th-century French cartography.
