Description

State 2 of this bird's-eye view of Florence. In the center, under the upper border, the engraved title "Fiorenza". At the top left, a compass rose is represented without the cardinal points or the names of the winds. At the top right are the Medici's coat-of-arms and those of the city. 

At the lower left, a numbered key refers to the place names of the Fortezza da Basso; at the lower right, a numbered key, 1-228 refers to the remarkable places of the city : "Luoghi notable."

The image is a simplified re-proposition, according to the use of the printer Matteo Florimi, of the 1594 edition of the Florence by Bonsignori , as demonstrated by the elimination of the column in Piazza San Marco and the series of toponymic references. It is more likely that it is a copy of the Rascicotti map, to which it is identical except for the absence of the dedication to Ferdinand 

1. According to Mori-Boff, the dating can be restricted to the time span between 1594, the year of publication of the second version of the view by Bonsignori from which it is derived, and 1613, the year of the death of Matteo Florimi: after this date, the prints issued by the Sienese workshop bear the excudit of the heirs. 

2°: Florimi's address is erased by two lines but still legible. This edition can be attributed to the presses of the Sienese publisher Pietro Petrucci, who acquired most of Florimi's plates.

Some of the most asked FAQ by our clients

Librairie Loeb-Larocque specializes in maps, atlases, and travel books from the 16th to 19th centuries.

The Librairie was founded in 1958 by Louis Loeb-Larocque. Originally, he arrived in France from Germany shortly after World War II. He started an antiquarian map and book shop in Paris, specializing in early maps, atlases, travel books, and prints. The shop was located at Rue Le Peletier until 1996, and was frequently visited by collectors and fellow dealers from all parts of the world.

At present, the office is located at 31 rue de Tolbiac in Paris in the lively 13th district, a 5-minute walk from the Bibliothéque Nationale de France (Metro Line 14)

The value of any rare book, atlas, globe, print, or map is affected by many factors: its rarity, condition, binding, provenance, and the significance of any inscriptions it may contain. Béatrice Loeb-Larcque, an expert and member of the Syndicat Français des Experts Professionnels en Œuvres d'Art et Objets de Collection, provides a free appraisal if you are considering selling. We provide auction estimates based on photographs sent via the Internet. These estimates are not for valuation purposes and are subject to revision upon inspection of the object. It is impossible to provide verbal estimates by telephone, nor can we respond to requests sent without a photo.

There is no easy answer to this question. Some books or maps have, without question, appreciated considerably in value over the years.
Others have remained steadily desirable without seeing a significant rise in price, and still others can be purchased for little money but give great personal satisfaction.
Librairie Loeb-Larocque, with 60 years of experience in the rare map and book trade, can help you decide what kind of collection you would like to build.
