Description
Rare Lafreri School town-plan of Crescentino, engraved by Paolo Forlani, of the Lafreri school of mapmakers, first published in "Il Primo Libro Delle Citta, Et Fortezze Principali Del Mondo", this is the second issue in Giulio Ballino's "De' Disegni Delle Piu Illustri Citta …" published by Zaltieri.
The so-called "Lafreri" school of mapmakers constitutes a loose group of engravers and printers working in Venice and Rome in the middle of the sixteenth century who often bound together collections of maps and prints to form atlases.
Lafreri had been one of the leading publishers whose catalogue of stock and whose renown for binding together loose sheets, gave rise to the "Lafreri" attribution.
An unique opportunity to acquire a fine example from an town view from the early Lafreri school maps.
