Condition: Good. 11 Als, most with multiple pages; 54 page typescript; annotated pages for the 1910 published book entitled "Raphael and the portrait of Andrea Turini," as well as the book itself, by Tom(Tommaso) Virzi; documents of the exhibition at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1910.Roger Fry wrote about the painting in "TheThe Burlington Magazine for Connoisseurs ," Vol. 18, No. 93 (Dec., 1910), pp. 135+137-138 (3 pages).These documents and letters are records of an art history investigation into the attribution of an Italian Renaissance painting possessed by Thomas (Tommaso) Virzi. Bernard Berenson guessed Raphael at one time, Roger Fry would also attempt to determine its provenance among other art experts of the period. The painting was being exhibited not only for its fine quality, but also to publicize it so that someone might be able to determine the artist. Most of the letters are by Herbert Cook (1868-1939), a leading English art patron and historian, involved also with the Burlington Magazine. Of special note are two drafts of Cook's Preface to a 54 pp. essay in Italian by Virzi, the owner of the painting. Also of note is a lengthy handwritten letter by Edward Perry Warren (1860-1928), a Bostonian who took up residence in England and became a leading art dealer in Edwardian England. In addition to the Virzi essay the lot includes a preface Cook wrote for Virzi's account.? On 25 October 1910, Warren offered to arrange the sale of the Raphael to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for £50,000.Tommaso Virzi later emigrated to America. He shows up in the 1940 census of Manhattan as an art exporter, and was naturalized in 1945.The painting was eventually acquired by J. Hirsch of New York and subsequently sold on Friday 18 July 1980 at Christie, Manson & Woods , London as lot 150, as by Francesco di Cristofano (Franciabigio).The FONDAZIONE FEDERICO ZERI - Università di Bologna now calls the artist "Anonimo fiorentino sec. XVI.".

O mapa da América (fólio 2) é um dos mais bem conservados deste Atlas, com o título «Novissima et Accuratissima Sptentrionalis ac Meridionalis Americae Descriptio, multis Locis recentibus aucta et correcte divisa in Omnes Partes Hodierna Per Fredericum de Witt Amstelodami».

No canto superior esquerdo do mapa há uma cartela colorida à mão com a história da descoberta da América: «America nomen habet ab Americo Vesputio, Florentino, qui Emmanuelis Portugalia Regiis auspiciis à Gadibus anno 1497 profectus primus ex Europaeis, quantum quidem constat, eam ingressus est. Quan quan prior Christophorus Columbus Genovensis, anno 1492?.». (América nome a partir de Americo Vespuccio o qual foi enviado para descobrir este continente pelo Rei Dom Manuel de Portugal, etc.). Este mapa mostra o território da América do Norte praticamente todo desconhecido: a Califórnia é vista como uma ilha; o território continental da América do Norte não é conhecido para além dos Grandes Lagos. O território actual dos U. S. A. encontra-se colorido a rosa com o nome de Nova França e Nova Iorque é ainda designada como Nova Amsterdão. A convenção das cores dos mapas são destinadas a que o leitor efectue uma pesquisa rápida na lista de índice de nomes que vêm nos fólios após cada mapa. As cores - rosa, amarelo e castanho - são todas originais. Porém o castanho é uma alteração (viragem química pelo tempo) de uma tonalidade de cor azul clara feita à base de cobre. No reverso deste mapa (assim como todos os outros) podemos ver a viragem natural causada por esta tinta corrosiva, o que levou a restauros menores neste fólio para evitar a corrosão da referida tinta à base de cobre.
