Specialist Notes
Sought-after work. The Count of Larderel built establishments for the extraction of boric acid near Montecerboli and thus a village was born which took the name of Larderello. Our copy is in the second edition, the most complete of plates which followed a first printing containing 22 views. The view of Larderello has been modified as expansions to the industrial establishments had been made in the meantime. It is designed by Toci, rather than by Chelli, and is imprinted in three colours.
