Guida per osservare con metodo le rarità e bellezze della città di Firenze

Cambiagi, Gaetano · 1805 · Firenze : Presso Guglielmo Piatti · 1 picture

A guidebook to the sights of Florence by Gaetano Cambiagi, printed in Florence in 1805 by Guglielmo Piatti for visitors wanting to view the city's art and architecture in order. Its single plate is a copperplate-style map titled Pianta di Firenze, showing the walled city's dense street grid, river bends, bastion, and a compass rose framed by a keyed list of numbered sites on each side. A designer might take its precise engraved linework, the framed title cartouche, and the numbered legend layout as a model for historical city plans.
