Summary
Print, engraving, The Pitti Palace, Florence, Italy. German School. Engraving mounted on hessian of 'Hoc ist Palatum Magni Ducis Hetruruce........Das ist des Groshortzogf ...... Palatz in florentz'. See KLA/D/1383. These 17th century engravings are not in good condition but stable and at some time have been housed in loose leaf book which has left holes with rusted edges. Whether the hessian backing was applied as a repair/strengthening or as a backing possibly for applying to walls direct (print room style) is not clear.
