NAYA (1816-1882) Circle, Libreria di San Marco, Venedig, around 1880, albumen paper print Carlo Naya (1816 Tronzano Vercellese - 1882 Venice) Circle: View from the north across the Piazzetta to the Libreria di San Marco with passers-by, on the right in the foreground the Campanile with the Loggetta, Venice, c. 1880, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Inscription: Lower middle inscribed on the support: "- Venise - La Loggetta et l'ancienne Bibliothéque, auj. Palais Royal". Date: c. 1880 Description: Original photograph with high detail sharpness. An early example of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from bourgeois circles travelled to Italy. At that time, photographs could only be taken at great expense in terms of time and with expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site, so that they could bring back a souvenir from their holiday home or collect them as mementos. Famous photographers such as Carlo Naya, Giorgio Sommer and the Alinari brothers photographed the most famous sights in their home cities and travelled themselves to photograph their customers' favourite destinations and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting the art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on copies or engravings if they were unable to view the original themselves.

Vue prise de l'île de S. Giorgio - ". Date: c. 1880 Description: The picture, taken from the platform above the bell tower of the church of San Giorgio, shows a particularly frequently used motif that has helped to create those clichés in the minds of tourists and collectors that have become iconic for the lagoon city: The San Marco district with the sights of the Palazzo Ducale, the Basilica and domes of San Marco, the Campanile and Library of Sansovino. The Campanile forms a vertical axis, while the horizontal is emphasised by the horizon line in the distance and the coastline in front of San Marco, as well as the steamer in the foreground.
