Description

State 2 of this bird's-eye view of Florence. In the center, under the upper border, the engraved title "Fiorenza". At the top left, a compass rose is represented without the cardinal points or the names of the winds. At the top right are the Medici's coat-of-arms and those of the city.

At the lower left, a numbered key refers to the place names of the Fortezza da Basso; at the lower right, a numbered key, 1-228 refers to the remarkable places of the city : "Luoghi notable."

The image is a simplified re-proposition, according to the use of the printer Matteo Florimi, of the 1594 edition of the Florence by Bonsignori , as demonstrated by the elimination of the column in Piazza San Marco and the series of toponymic references. It is more likely that it is a copy of the Rascicotti map, to which it is identical except for the absence of the dedication to Ferdinand

1. According to Mori-Boff, the dating can be restricted to the time span between 1594, the year of publication of the second version of the view by Bonsignori from which it is derived, and 1613, the year of the death of Matteo Florimi: after this date, the prints issued by the Sienese workshop bear the excudit of the heirs.

2°: Florimi's address is erased by two lines but still legible. This edition can be attributed to the presses of the Sienese publisher Pietro Petrucci, who acquired most of Florimi's plates.

Condition / Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.

We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century, then "colored", or "attractive colors" will be used.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
