ZOCCHI, Giuseppe (1711-1767). Vedute delle ville, e d'altri luoghi della Toscana. Florence: Giuseppe Bouchard, 1757.
2° (380 x 300mm). Double-page and engraved throughout. Title and 50 plates after Zocchi by Giuseppe Benedetti (7), Fabio Berardi (1), Matteo Carboni (1), Marco Antonio Corsi (4), Philotée-François Duflos (2), Giuseppe Filosi (4), Vincenzo Franceschini (1), Giuliano Giampiccoli (1), Michele Marieschi (2), Niccolo Mogalli (3), Pietro Monaco (7), Filippo Morghen (9), Johann Sebastian Müller (1), Remigius Parr (1), Giovanni-Battista Piranesi (1), Johann Gottfried Seuter (1), Giuseppe Wagner (6), Giuseppe Zocchi (4). Contemporary half marbled sheep, spine gilt (slight worming to spine). Provenance: Zollikon (booklabel).
A FINE COPY OF THE THIRD EDITION. The first was published in 1744 and a second (the first published by Bouchard) in 1754. The fine plates show Tuscan villas set amidst gardens with surrounding landscape. The scenes are enlivened by human and animal activity - often of a humourous nature (a man fights to control his cloak whilst his hat is whisked away by a Tuscan hill-top wind, etc.). Berlin Kat. 2701; Mason p.190.
