Page from a memorandum on improvements to the port of Fano

ca. 1765

- This incomplete manuscript consists of four columns of text over both sides of a sheet. It is apparently the last page of a larger text, since it begins without a title or introduction and ends with a signature. The document discusses changes to the harbour at Fano. It makes reference to accompanying drawings (not included).

Pen and brown ink, probably iron gall

sheet: 28.0 x 39.9 cm
