View of Orvieto cathedral. Circa 1856. Large-format albumen print. 40 x 31,5 cm. Mounted to thick card (soiled, traces of use).

This early print bears neither a stamp nor negative number, but the same view (with Spithöver's stamp) is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum with negative number 155. This image is also documented in Anderson's sales catalogue of 1859. – Some foxing spots in sky area, some soiling, otherwise an early print with good contrasts.
