| description
The first edition, in Italian, was published at Antwerp in 1567, with the maps and plans in woodcut. Plantin then published this first edition with all the maps and plans in copper engravings in 1581. Ludovico Guicciardini was a nobleman from Florence, who lived and worked in the Low Countries, and died at Antwerp in 1589. His present work was translated into French, Dutch, Latin, -and even into German and English all through the sixteenth and part of the 17th century, and all editions were in folio. The illustrations in the numerous editions vary greatly, and were often renewed or replaced. The plans of Doornik and Kamerijk left blank, with note on these pages Per causa della guerra no s'eancor potuto havare il ritratto di questa citta el naturale . Plantin ordered in 1581 entirely new plates, especially engraved for his editions mostly by the brothers Hogenberg, the famous engravers of Ortelius's atlas. Many new and updated city plans are included. The illustrations of this most important work were used by Braun and Hogenberg in their 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum'. The book is divided into sections, each devoted to a particular, with emphasis on the topography of the various regions and the region. It really is a sophisticated traveler's guide, with emphasis on the topography of the various regions and the major cities, and beautifully illustrated by plans and views. Including a fine print of the Antwerp Exchange. But the book fully covers all aspects of contemporary life in each area as well, including an extensive treatment of the fine arts, trade and the commercial concerns of each region. Exceptional fine, uncut copy, in very fine contemporary colouring. Paper has the usual mild browning throughout.
