A 1562 map of Toscana Nuova Tavola by Girolamo Ruscelli. Tuscany is the heart of Italy & birthplace of the Italian language. Early hand-coloring. Copper plate engraving. Interestingly the map is one of two engraved on the same plate, then separated for inclusion in the book (note crease). We know this as the plate mark runs off the top of the table. Printed in Venice. Latin description verso can be seen through the paper. Sheet size: 9 1/8" x 11 7/8".
Framed: 11.75" x 14.75".
