Description: A Gènes: Chez Yves Gravier, 1788. 0. Hardcover. Octavo. [ii], 268pp. []1, a8-q8, r6. Author's name in the legend of the frontispiece. Contemporary calf. With plates, some folding. Two maps. Three plates are missing (Femme en Mezzaro - facing p. 12; Le Doge - facing p. 242; Le Page - facing p. 259), but another plate has been added in. The missing plates would generally be catagorized as costume plates. Since the book is in its original Italian binding, the plates were left out either intentionally or mistakenly. They do not represent real figures. All sixteen maps and views, along with the added plate, another view, are present. Cartography by G. Brusco. Schlosser 576. Authorship uncertain: attributed to Giacomo Brusco and Carlo Giuseppe Ratti; cf. Schlosser 576. A beautiful, crisp copy. Good.
