Guide de la ville de Florence avec la description de la galerie et du Palais Pitti, ornée de vues et statues

Verico, Ant. (Antonio), approximately 1775- engraver, Silvestri, Guglielmo, 1763- engraver · 1824 · Florence : Chez Gaspard Ricci, libraire, sur la place S. Trinità · 17 pictures

A French-language guide to Florence published in 1824 by Gaspard Ricci at the Piazza Santa Trinita, with views engraved by Antonio Verico and Guglielmo Silvestri for travellers and collectors visiting the city and the Pitti Palace gallery. The four pictures are rotated engraved street views of Florentine palaces, a church with a hill backdrop, and a multi-arched stone bridge over the Arno, rendered in fine parallel line hatching that suggests tonal modelling for designers studying early nineteenth-century topographic engraving.
