Venice circa 1860's. circa 1860's. Very good. - sc An original 4-3/4 inch high by 7 inch wide albumen print by Carlo Ponti depicting the island of San Giorgio with its spires and domes and buildings whose heavy walls appear to come right up to the water's edge. An arch in the wall of one building located on this island off the coast of Venice opens up onto the waterway so that boats & gondolas can pass into what would be its courtyard. Mounted by the photographer onto 8-3/4 inch high by 11-3/4 inch wide light green mat board with printed white double rules framing the image. The photographer's blind stamp "Carlo Ponti / Venezia" is embossed at the bottom of the mat and the image is identified in ink on the mat below the photograph. There are a few tiny spots in the image possibly in the negative and some minor rubbing of the emulsion near the top right edge of the photo. The recto of the mat is slightly soiled with much offsetting to the verso. A very good beautiful photograph. <p>The Swiss-born Italian photographer Carlo Ponti c.1823- 1893 moved to Venice in 1852 after having studied photography in Paris. Having opened his own studio which catered to tourists he sold photographs in all formats. He won many awards including one which he was awarded in 1862 for his invention of the Magalethoscope an apparatus which allowed photos to be viewed through a large lens which created the illusion of depth and perspective. It is not surprising given this invention that he was also the optician to Italy's King Victor Emanuel II.</p> [Venice, circa 1860's].
