Collection of Rare Salt Prints

Ponte Vecchio, Firenze, c. 1855, albumenized salt print on original mount, 25,6 x 32,2 cm

Galerie Daniel Blau (Munich) presents a collection of rare salt prints from the 19th century by the Fratelli Alinari at the TEFAF in Maastricht. They (Romualdo 1830-1891, Leopoldo 1832- 1865, and Giuseppe 1836- 1890) opened their studios in Florence in 1852. The photographer of the three was Romualdo, who had previously been an engraver with Bardi. By 1855, following their participation in the Paris World Fair, the Alinari Brothers had won acclaim throughout Europe for their fine photographs. The main focus of their work was the photographing of architecture and works of art.
