The plate is from "La Librera Mediceo-Laurenziana Architetture Di Michelagnolo Buonarruoti", designed and illustrated by Giuseppe Ignazio Rossi, and engraved by Bernardo Sgrilli. It is in excellent condition.
Giuseppe Ignazio Rossi (1696-1731), also known by the surname Delrosso (as signed in the plates), was a Florentine architect.
