Item Overview

Description:

Large 19th Century Photographs of Engravings Art Portfolio Book
Impressive large 19th century folio titled Photographs of Engravings, measuring approximately 23 x 17.5 x 2.5 inches, containing numerous mounted photographic reproductions of well-known European engravings and paintings. The portfolio includes a wide variety of classical and genre scenes such as L’Empereur Napoléon, Le Sommeil de Bébé, Mademoiselle Ève, La Courte Échelle, Le Passage Dangereux, Juive Marocaine, and others, many credited to Goupil & Cie editors with references to original artists including Gérôme, Meissonier, Vernet, and Boutibonne. These works were part of the famous Galerie Photographique series produced in the mid-19th century, which used early photographic processes to reproduce important academic paintings and engravings for collectors and institutions. Each image is mounted on large cream mat boards with printed titles and artist credits beneath the image area. The volume is bound in a decorative leather cover titled “Photographs of Engravings, ” showing expected age wear, rubbing, and scattered foxing to pages consistent with age. A substantial and visually striking 19th century art portfolio featuring large format photographic plates after important European works, highly decorative and desirable for collectors of early photographic reproduction, academic art studies, and antique folio books.
