J. Daziaro, founded by Giuseppe Daziaro in 1827, became a leading publisher and photographic studio in 19th-century Russia, renowned for its high-quality lithographs and photographs of Russian cityscapes, portraits, and cultural scenes. After Giuseppe’s death, the business was carried on by his son Joseph and later by his grandson Alexander, until it closed in 1918. The legacy of J. Daziaro endures through its significant contributions to Russian art and photography, with works held in prestigious collections such as the Getty Museum and the New York Public Library, and even referenced by literary figures such as Leo Tolstoy. – Some scuff marks and signs of fading along edges of print, otherwise in good condition.
