Grand Tour: In 1670, Richard Lassels published his The Voyage of Italy, the first tourists’ guide to that destination, and the first to describe the journey as a “Grand Tour”. By the middle of the eighteenth century, there was a variety of works available to Grand Tourists in Italy – including marble and bronze antiquities, Renaissance sculpture and paintings. The fine pair of marble models we have for sale here exemplify the high-quality souvenirs sought after by the wealthy/aristocratic gentleman on his Grand Tour in the mid-19th century.
