Albums of European views
Visual Materials
Two albums of commercial photographs from Europe, especially Spain, Italy, England, Switzerland, and France. The first album includes photographs of Granada, focusing on the Alhambra, city streets, and ancient and modern buildings. Some of the images have been amateurishly hand-tinted, and several bear the mark of Linares fotografo. Photographs of the French Riviera by "ND Phot" show Nice, Menton, La Turbie, and Monaco, with special attention shown to Monte Carlo and the Casino there. Photographs of Naples, some by Alinari and some by Sommer, show street scenes, portraits of locals, a funeral, piazzas, and monuments such as Forte S. Elmo and Galleria Umberto I. Other subjects in the first volume in smaller numbers are Genoa, Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Montblanc. The second album begins with photographs of Rome including several photographs of marble sculptures by Cenova and Bernini. Photographs of Florence show palaces, squares, monuments, the Campanile, and the Duomo. The majority of pictures of Lucerne are by Bruno and Arthur Wehrli, known professionally as the Gebrüder Wehrli. A small number of photographs of palaces in France, including Fountainbleau, is followed by views of London. The London photographs are signed variously by "L. S. & P. Co." and "Stereoscopic Co." (which both seem to be the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company), "G. W. W.", "F. F. & Co.", and "J. V."
