[Circa 1870-1880]. An extensive series of 132 stunning photographs of Italy and Italian artwork, most measuring 25 x 17 cm, some slightly smaller, some slightly larger, all mounted on leaves measuring 30x42 cm. and bound in three exquisite near contemporary (ab. 1900) oblong black half morocco bindings with four raised bands, gilt spines, boards with elaborately gilt corners, gilt border and to the middle of front boards a gilt vignette, gilt title (""Italian"" i.e. either Norwegian or Danish for Italy). and gilt volume-number. Housed in three equally elegant half morocco boxes with with gilt spines, marbled edges, and with middle of boards corresponding to those of the bindings. The boxes are also from ab. 1900. The boxes have a few traces of wear, but all in all, the set is in splendid condition.Many of the photographs have numberings and several of them also mention the motiv.Volume I contains 46 photographs, 8 by (Giacomo or his son Carlo) Brogi, 1 by Pompeo Pozzi, 4 by Maug and 33 unsigned. Most of the pictures are of ancient Roman buildings and renaissance art works. A few of the photos are from Milan.Volume II contains 49 photographs, 2 by Volpato and 2 by Brogi, the remaining 45 are unsigned. The first half depicts ancient Roman statues renaissance painting. The last part consists of photos portraying vast landscapes around the bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius and cityscapes Volume III consists of 37 unsigned photographs of artworks mainly from Museo di Napoli.
An extensive and stunning collection of photographs from Italy, a splendid example of a Victorian Grand Tour photo album from Milan in the north down to Rome and ending in Napoli, photos prepared while the traveler shopped and visited the Italian sites.Photography studios in different Italian cities developed different specialties and were especially oriented towards the three genres of portraiture, views and art reproductions, of which the present collection is a fine example. ""Among the activities of the most renowned firms (Brogi and Pozzi), there was ample space for the reproduction of works of art and monuments most representative of the art historical tradition and natural beauty of Italy. Nature was not only seen as such, but as an integral part of the landscape, and essential element of a whole in which nature and history, culture and nature harmoniously balanced and completed each other"". (Hannavy, Encyclopedia of Nineteenth Century Photography)Most of the photographs by Brogi are presumably from his first Pompeii campaign from 1879-1880 which we exhibited in Milan the year after.
" Album with 30 original photographs, album size 23 x 30 cm. Consists of 24 board-like leaves with 30 tipped on original photographs ( tipped on recto & verso on the first 6 leaves; the following onlt recto side).

Reference : 53510
" Paris, Atelier Central de Photographie, s.d. ( ca. 1865), 13 original photographs (200 x 305 mm), mounted on stiff board, with the company's blindstamp in the margin. The photographs depict interpretation engravings of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican : a general view of the ceiling and 12 detailed views of the paintings in between the windows. In E.A. McCauley's study on Collard ( Industrial Madness, commercial photography in Paris 1848 - 1871 - pp 221) the author mentions a contract made out by Collard for reproductive photography of Italian art based on engravings by Forster. Probably these photographs are derived from this contract. Also bound in in the album : Logia di Rafaele nel Vaticano, 9 large similar photographs, one with a blind stamp in the margin : ''Photographie LAMPUÉ rue Saint Jacques Paris''; and another 10 leaves containing each 4 original photographs ( postcard format) of groteskes ( unsigned.

The photographs were made with care by Sullivan's photographers in close collaboration with him, using large view cameras, hand-ground lenses, and special films. For more than 40 years, Crombie (1914-1999) championed the photographs as the primary means for understanding Sullivan's work. In a collaborative effort, he and Plank (U. of Virginia) prepared an exhibit in 1991; and then, although Crombie felt that the photographs speak more than words could ever convey, Plank undertook investigation of the photographers and the provenance of the photographs, as well as preparation of interpretive text.

The album opens with a view of the painter, holding his palet, in his studio. On the easel ; a two masted ship under sail , with a smoking funnel - this painting returns on one of the following pages. Most of the paintings depicted are marine paintings or coastal landscapes. One painting depicts two giant Egyptian pharao statues. The last three paintings depict opulent house interiors . Based on his studio picture we estimate the photographs to be taken around 1890, the painter being then 60 years old. Probably unique document."
