Plan de la ciudad de Mexico, dedicated to the exmo sor. conde de revilla gigedo,1791. Map of the vicinity of Mexico that includes the drainage of all its lagoons that are formed from the slopes of the mountains that surround them with the immediate towns. The Forasteros guides were the star publications of Felipe de Zúñiga, the great editor of Mexico. Celebrated for the high quality of the information compiled, these guides were also highly profitable. So much so that, shortly before his death, the publisher managed to obtain, for his son, the privilege of producing them exclusively throughout the kingdom, for life. This son, Mariano de Zuñega, decided in 1791 to include two maps of the city and its surroundings, both drawn by the military engineer Manuel Agustín Mascaró and engraved by José Joaquín Fabregat. Pre-Independence guidebooks are very scarce today, and the few that appear on the market are usually missing their maps.
