ZOCCHI, Giuseppe (1711 or 1717-1767)
Scelta di XXIV vedute delle principali contrade, piazze, chiese, e palazzi della citta di Firenze. Florence: Giuseppe Bouchard, 1754 [plan dated 1755].
One of the greatest collections of views of Florence from the 18th century. The plates, which are remarkably fresh, depict the most significant views of the Tuscan capital, and are the work of 15 different engravers. Zocchi, together with his brother Cosimo, was particularly active in Florence within the circles of the Serristori, Rinuccini and Gerini families.Three editions of the plates are known: the first published by Allegrini in 1744; the second published by Bouchard in 1754; the third published by Bouchard in 1757 (cf. Mason 'Le Edizione' A1). Although Mason states that the plan (which is dated 1755) is only found in the third edition of 1757 (p. 30), some copies with the 1754 imprint include it, as this copy does. It also contains the engraved dedication from the first edition. R.M. Mason, Giuseppe Zocchi (Florence, 1981), 'Le Edizione' A1; for the 1744 edition cf. Berlin Kat. 2700; Graesse VII, pp. 268-269.
Oblong broadsheets (571 x 762 mm). Half-sheet engraved dedication by Filippo Morghen after Zocchi [dated 1744, from first edition; Mason 'Catalogo' 1] and engraved title incorporating dedication by Johann Gottfried Seutter. Engraved plan of Florence [by Ferdinando Ruggieri] and 24 plates by Johann Andreas Pfeffel (2), Johann Sebastian Müller (3), Carlo Gregori (3), Bernardo Sgrilli (5), Antonio Pazzi (2), Vincenzo Franceschini (2), Giuseppe Papini Benedetti (1), Giuseppe Vasi (2), Michele Marieschi and Vincenzo Franceschini (1), Baldassare Gabbuggiani (1) Marco Antonio Corsi (1), and Pietro Monaco (1), after Zocchi, figures in 5 plates also by Zocchi (a few light marks, minor spotting, engraved title a little surface rubbed at gutter). Late-19th-century tan straight-grained half sheep over marbled paper boards, spine gilt ruled and lettered, fleurons gilt (extremities rubbed). Provenance: Pasolini (bookplate on pastedown).
