Abgabe von Vorgeboten möglich

Statues of "Niobide", Vatican; "Sophocles", Laterna Museum and "Mars", Villa Ludovisi. 1855-60. 3 large-format gold-toned albumen prints. Each circa 37 x 23 cm. Each mounted to board (traces of use, foxing, time-stained in edges), titled in Italian in ink below the image on the mount, each with "Jos. Spithoever, Roma" blind stamp in lower right corner of the mount.

James Anderson's rendition of sculpture is exceptional, likely due to his own experience as a sculptor. His images of sculpture far surpass other art reproductions of the time and stand out as individual works. The prints are gold-toned, giving them a rich, violet brown color that exceeds the quality of images found in travel albums of the time. – A few surface scuff marks, some retouched spots, otherwise in near excellent condition with strong violet-brown tones.
