Description
In 1852, the Alinari brothers founded the photographic studio Fratelli Alinari dedicated initially to the documentation of notable Italian paintings, sculptures, monuments and architecture. These prints produced around 1854 are the results of their work.
This set of 9 prints each measuring approx. 7.5” x 10” includes:
Cupid with Dolphin; small statue coming from Pompeii
Bronze Cupid holding a lamp.
Invented in 1850, albumen prints were the most common type of photographic print made during the nineteenth century. The process involves coating the surface of very thin paper with albumen (egg white) and a solution of silver nitrate. This paper was typically so thin it had to be mounted to board or card stock.
Albumen prints are characterized by smooth, shiny, rich, sharp, semi-gloss images. The process allowed photographers better reproduction of detail, a wider tonal range, and greater print stability than the salted paper process that preceded it.
