[Rarebooks] FS: 1880s Florence Trade Card for Florentine Mosaic Maker

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

1880s Florence Trade Card for Florentine Mosaic Maker.

A card for Guise. Montelatici of Florence, maker of Florentine mosaics, 
as well as jewelry. Florentine mosaics, a specialty of the city that 
date back at least to the 15th century, differ from other mosaics in 
having no defined lines between stones. The stones are so carefully cut 
and ground that the finished pieces appear to be paintings rather than 
stonework. The Montelatici family were well-known mosaic makers, with 
several different generations and workshops operating in the 19th and 
early 20th centuries. This firm had won awards at a variety of 
international expositions in the 1860s, 1870s and 1880s, which are 
illustrated here.

Card. 5.5”x3.25”. Minor soil. [43344]  $60
