A rare pictorial chromolithograph perspective view and map of Florence / Firenze, Italy. The view is centered roughly on the Palazzo Vecchio, and looks south on Florence from a fictional highpoint above today's Pizzale Vittorio Veneto, labeled here Piazzale degli Zuavi. The map follows in a style popular at time wherein buildings and monuments are superimposed as profile vignettes over an otherwise simple perspective map - impractical for serious navigation, but a wonderful aid to the tourist on foot. Here, red highlighting illustrates tram routes (solid lines) and automobile routes (dashed lines, note there are only 3 such roads). Similar maps have been made of Paris, London, Rome, Madrid, and other popular European tourist centers. (more details)
