They reproduced the spectacle of Florence as it might then have been seen by any wayfarer; street people, soldiers, officers, honest tradesmen and rogues, mandolin players, loiterers of the crossways and bridges, turnpike-keepers, cut-throats, buflPoons and comedians, grimacing pantaloons, fops, coquettes, country scenes, a faithful and brilliant study of the time, the manners, and the place. Parigi was enthusiastic and advised his pupil to dedicate the plates to the brother of the Grand Duke." --''[[Artists Past and Present]]'''[https://archive.org/stream/artistspastprese00caryiala/artistspastprese00caryiala_djvu.txt], [[Elisabeth Luther Cary]] | ||
