“Count L. Magalott, Travels of Cosmo the Third,
Grand Duke of Tuscany, through England during the
Reign of King Charles the Second 1669” (1821).
In 1669 Cosimo de Medici III travelled through various
countries, including England. He had in his retinue an
artist to record the places he saw and Count Lorenzo
Magalotti, who was entrusted with creating a written
account. The illustrated manuscript was later deposited
in the Laurentian Library, Florence, where the section
on the English leg of his tour attracted the interest of
English visitors.
In the 19th century a translation was made along with
Indian ink copies of the original drawings by Thomas
Hosmer Shepherd. Those copies are now in the British
Library Department of Manuscripts. Scaled down
engravings in aquatint from these illustrate the 1821
translation.
