About the Item

Stengel & Co. (19th century): Elevated view from the lighthouse over the port of Trieste with large ships and fenced-off outdoor pool with bathers, c. 1900, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Stamp: Blank stamp, Stengel & Co . Dresden. 19th century Inscription: Lower middle inscribed on the support: "- Trieste - Vue prise du phare, à l'entrée du port -". Date: c. 1900 Description: Original photograph with high sharpness of detail. An early testimony of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from middle-class circles travelled to Italy. At that time, photographs could only be taken with a great deal of time and expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site to bring back a souvenir from afar for those who stayed at home or to collect as souvenirs. Famous photographers such as Carlo Naya, Giorgio Sommer or the Alinari brothers photographed the most famous sights of their home cities and went on journeys themselves to photograph the most popular destinations of their clients and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on tracings or engravings if they could not view the original for themselves.
