A charming pictorial map of Florence featuring profile illustrations of the city's iconic buildings.
This is a c. 1900 Emilio Tarchi pictorial tourist map of Florence, Italy highlighting the historic city's most iconic buildings. Beautifully rendered, the map depicts the city from the Piazza Cavour to the Porta Romana and from the Viale Michelangiolo to the Piazzale Vittorio Emanuele II. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Basilica of Santa Croce, and the Palazzo Vecchio are only a few of Florence's celebrated architecture illustrated here. Numerous other buildings are illustrated in a cadastral manner, including the Uffizi Gallery next to the Palazzo Vecchio and the Ponte Vecchio. Others, like the Museum of Natural History, are simply labeled. Roads and plazas throughout the city are identified, including those in the parks surrounding the city.Publication History
