A series of 19 etchings (measuring between 176 x 281mm. and 191 x 267mm.) etched by Remigio Canta Gallina after drawings by Giulio Parigi (16), Jacopo Ligola (2) and another (1), all cut to the plate-line and inlaid.

Battell (late 18th-century signature on first page); Institution of Naval Architects, Scott Library Collection (bookplate, sold at Christie's 5 December 1974, lot 368). A MAGNIFICENT SET OF PLATES etched to commemorate the river fête, one of the entertainments at the wedding of Cosimo de'Medici to Maria Maddalena, daughter of the Hapsburg Archduke Charles of Graz and sister of the queen of Philip III of Spain.
