Monuments of Rome

TOMMASSO CUCCIONI (1790-1864) (photographer)

Italy, circa 1855-1860.

Albumen photographs glued to cardboard paper, taken by Tommaso Cuccioni, who was one of the pioneers of photography in Italy (he was also an engraver). The images taken by Cuccioni’s photographic studio are the first photographs of monuments in the Eternal City. Dry stamp from the photographic studio.

Good condition, although the supporting paper has slight oxidations.
