Guida per Osservare con Metodo Le Rarita e Bellezze della Citta di Firenze, (1805), Guglielmo Piatti

A moment of carelessness preserved in time – this cigarette burn was most likely left by man (smoking was a predominantly male habit) while reading a guide in preparation for travel. Being a dense work, this book is better suited for at home study than as an on-the-road reference – a gradually fading trend of the Grand Tour.
