Daniel Lizars' historical map from the early 19th century depicts the Kingdom of Sardinia, which included Sardinia, Piedmont, Savoy, the County of Nice, and Liguria. This region plays a pivotal role in the political and cultural history of Italy and France, especially during the period leading up to Italian unification. Sardinia was a significant kingdom with a diverse geography from Mediterranean islands to alpine territories. Maps like this one, from an Edinburgh geographical and historical atlas of 1828, combine political and physical features providing snapshots of evolving nation-state boundaries and regional identities in post-Napoleonic Europe.
