BICCI, Antonio and Gaetano (fl. 1790s)

I Contadini della Toscana espressi al naturale. Florence: Niccolo Pagni & Giuseppe Bardi, 1796.

A rare costume work depicting life across Tuscany. The beautiful colour stipple-engravings show workers in town and country, amorous couples, family groups and men and women at work and play in various Tuscan towns and regions, often with cityscapes in the background. RBH records 3 copies only, 2 of which are inferior to the Bobins copy. Colas 325; Lipperheide Jbb7; Bobins II, 575.



Folio (490 x 332mm). Engraved title-page and 60 etched stipple engravings, printed in colours and finished by hand by C. Lasinio after Antonio and Gaetano Bicci (light scattered spotting, first few leaves with minor marginal soiling, minor dampstain at some extreme lower margins). 20th-century half burgundy diced calf, gilt spine.
