"The Voyages of Giovanni da Verrazzano, 1524–1528" by Lawrence C. Wroth, published in 1970 in New Haven and London for The Pierpont Morgan Library. This scholarly volume examines the voyages of the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano and includes 46 photographic reproductions of antique maps at the rear.

Quarto (8.5" x 11.5"), 319 pages plus 46 plates. Bound in full navy moiré fabric, with a gilt masted ship design centered on the upper board and gilt lettering with a gilt rule frame on the spine. The dust jacket is lacking. Condition is very good, with very minor edgewear, slight ruffling at the head and foot of the spine, and a light stain to the upper fore-edge that does not extend onto the individual pages. There are remnants of what may have been a pocket removed from the rear pastedown, but no other evidence of library markings.

A desirable reference for collectors and researchers interested in early European exploration, Verrazzano, Renaissance cartography, and the mapping of the New World.
