The great churches of Florence meet the everyday life of its markets, streets and riverbanks in these prints, painted by Colonel Robert Charles Goff for Florence and Some Tuscan Cities, the A. & C. Black book of 1905 with text by Clarissa Goff. The Ponte Vecchio, Santa Croce, the cathedral and the Palazzo Vecchio anchor the Florentine plates, and views of the Mercato Vecchio record buildings later lost to redevelopment. Fiesole's churches and hillside views look down on the city, while Pisa, Prato and Viareggio carry the journey across Tuscany. Fruit stalls, harbour boats, gardens and the Easter Scoppio del Carro sit beside the monuments, and seasonal flowers and weather over the Arno valley keep the landscape in view.
