Views of the Forum Romanum, the Arches of Titus and Septimius Severus, the Campidoglio, and the Villa Medici. 1855-1860. 6 large-format albumen prints, mounted to card. Each between 39,5 x 30,5 cm and 33 x 46,5 cm (mounts 64 x 49 cm or reverse). All but one annotated in black ink below the image on the mount; most with the photographer’s or publisher’s stamp embossed in the margins of the mount.

Tommaso Cuccioni was active in Rome from ca. 1830 as a lithographer and print publisher, with a studio on the centrally located Via dei Condotti, a popular destination for affluent English tourists. Embracing photography in 1852, he began producing large-format views of Roman landmarks, offering a new and highly effective form of visual souvenir. Few of these early prints survive and such large-formats are rare.
