Description: This is a c. 1900 Emilio Tarchi pictorial tourist map of Florence, Italy highlighting the historic city's most iconic buildings. Beautifully rendered, the map depicts the city from the Piazza Cavour to the Porta Romana and from the Viale Michelangiolo to the Piazzale Vittorio Emanuele II. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Basilica of Santa Croce, and the Palazzo Vecchio are only a few of Florence's celebrated architecture illustrated here.

Others, like the Museum of Natural History, are simply labeled. Roads and plazas throughout the city are identified, including those in the parks surrounding the city.

Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
