Charming map of Tuscany with the cities of Florence, Pisa and Rome, crisply engraved with pictorial representations of major cities and topography. Florence is shown larger than Rome, with a tiny depiction of the Duomo visible. A portion of the Apennine mountains are located at the top of the map. The sea is stipple engraved with calligraphic titling, and a strapwork cartouche with some historical notes decorates the top right corner. Latin text on verso.
