Description

Splendid general view captured from the terrace of St. Francis of Paola; from the rare series “Ports de Mer d’Europe – l’Italie”.


Louis Auguste Turgis (Gouville dans la Manche, 1818 – Paris, 1894), was a French printer and publisher. Very little information is available on this individual despite the obvious influence he had on the print trade around Europe and in New York at the time. His father was a print merchant in Paris from at least 1828. Louis Le Jeune joined the business around 1856. Between 1851 and 1874, the business was dedicated almost exclusively to religious imagery. They had workshops in Paris (rue des Écoles, 60), in Toulouse and a branch in New York (78 Duane St.). His wife took over the business (Maison Turgis) after his death and up to the Second World War.

Beautiful proof with contemporary coloring, with margins, minimal oxidation, otherwise in very good condition. Rare.
