Description

Veduta edita a Milano da Ferdinando Artaria tratta da un dagherrotipo.

La dagherrotipia, non poteva essere riproducibile in serie e doveva pertanto ricorrere ancora alla riproduzione grafica (soprattutto incisione all'acquatinta e litografia) per la diffusione e la fruibilità delle immagini da parte di un vasto pubblico.

Le incisioni all'acquatinta da dagherrotipo della ditta Artaria, affidate ai due incisori Louis Cherbuin e Johann Jakob Falkeisen, furono distribuite sotto il titolo della serie Vues d'Italie d'après le Daguerréotype negli anni 1842-1847 e contribuirono notevolmente all'affermazione in Italia della nuova e più fedele tecnica documentativa.

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.
