Description
View published in Milan by Ferdinando Artaria, taken from a daguerreotype.
Daguerreotypes could not be reproduced in series and therefore had to resort to graphic reproduction (especially aquatint engraving and lithography) to make the images available to a wide public.
The aquatint engravings from daguerreotypes by the Artaria company, entrusted to the two engravers Louis Cherbuin and Johann Jakob Falkeisen, were distributed under the title of the Vues d'Italie d'après le Daguerréotype series in the years 1842-1847 and contributed greatly to the affirmation in Italy of the new and more faithful documentary technique.
Copperplate, finely coloured, in excellent condition.

Artaria The family, originally from Blevio in Brianza, is devoted to trade for three centuries and publishing of prints. Artaria Caesar founded the German branch of the late seventeenth century, in Austria and Germany, which continues with the children Cesare, Domenico I and John Casimir, and then with their grandchildren Dominic and Giovanni Maria II that continue the business until 1853. Ferdinand Artaria is active in Vienna since 1812, although in 1805 he founded the Milan branch of typography, which he continued with his son and with varying fortunes until 1921. Bibliography: Valerio, Cartographers Veneti, p.142
