Description

Panoramic view of the city, signed by the engraver Giuseppe Giudici for the Ronchi printing house in Milan.

The printing house was founded by Luigi Ronchi; in bibliographic repertories the heading 'R. Stabilimento Litografico Luigi Ronchi e tipografia degl'ingegneri' appeared in the second half of the 19th century. Ronchi produced prints, maps and guides; as a publisher, in 1848, it was active with patriotic and Risorgimento publications, including memoirs on the 5 giornate.

The view has the imprint "Milano presso L. Ronchi Corso Francesco N. 601" at the bottom. It is therefore datable to before 1869, when the printing house had the address "Milano Ronchi Editore Negozio Corso Vittorio Emanuele 99 - Stabilimento Via S. Pietro all'Orto 11".

 

Etching and aquatint, finely coloured by hand, small abrasions visible at the margins, traces of glue on the verso overall in good condition.

 

Very rare.
