The Fratelli Alinari photography studio, established in 1852 in Florence, Italy, is one of the world's oldest photographic companies. The studio's early focus was portraiture, and it later expanded its repertoire to capture Italy's cultural heritage, architecture, and historical landmarks. The extensive archive of daguerreotypes, albumen prints, and glass negatives produced by Fratelli Alinari during this period has played a crucial role in preserving and documenting Italy's rich artistic and cultural history. – In very good condition.
