PIATTOLI, Giuseppe (1750-1815)
Racolta di quaranta proverbi toscani es pressi in figure de Giuseppe Piattoli Fiorentino. Florence: Niccolo Pagni & Giuseppe Bardi, 1786.
First edition of this very charming – and finely engraved – series of illustrations to popular Tuscan proverbs, expressively drawn and engraved by the celebrated Florentine artist Piattoli. The series gives glimpses of the daily life of all classes of people in Florence, illustrating contemporary customs, and traditions, along with the proverbs. Piattoli was a painter, draughtsman and printmaker; he was drawing master at the Academy in Florence from 1785-1807. A second volume of Tuscan proverbs, containing another 40 plates, was published in 1788 in a different, landscape format. Bobins V, 1509; Cicognara 1758; Colas 2352; Lipperheide Jbb 4.
Large folio (416 x 296mm). Engraved title and 40 engraved plates coloured by a contemporary hand (plates 4 and 6 inverted, occasional marginal finger-soiling, light marginal spotting on a few plates). Early 19th-century half calf, over green and brown blocked paper boards (extremities of boards slightly worn).
