Details

Early views of Venice. 1855. 7 large-format salt prints. Each circa 27 x 35 cm. Each with photographer's blindstamp in lower left in image/on mount, each mounted to thin card (some buckling), each with caption label in lower right on mount.

In the 1850s Domenico Bresolin was one of the most important coworkers of Carlo Ponti but also published his photos under his own name. He was one of the last Venetian photographers to work with salt prints up until the late 1850s. Photos with his blindstamp are quite rare as he only used his own stamp 1854/55. – Some lighter, otherwise in good condition.
