Fra la 2a e la 3a opera è legato un manoscritto bifolio, scritto in chiara grafia a inchiostro nero (2 facciate) su carta vergellata, firmato e datato al verso: "Lod.° Ant.° Muratori" in cui l'erudito modenese, corrispondente degli arcadi Petracchi (Lettore di Filosofia Morale presso lo Studio cittadino), Formagliari (Cancelliere maggiore) e Bianconi (poligrafo ed insegnante di greco all'Archiginnasio), si pronuncia in merito alla controversia storiografica circa la legittimità del diploma teodosiano che avrebbe istituito come primario lo Studio di Bologna. Di grande interesse perché il manoscritto s'inserisce nella schermaglia erudita fra Petracchi e Formagliari. Le 5 opere e il manoscritto rilegati in un unico volume in bella legatura posteriore in mezza pelle ed angoli, dorso a 5 nervi con titolo e fregi oro negli scomparti, piatti marmorizzati. Mancanza ben reintegrata all'angolo inferiore esterno del frontespizio. Gora non deturpante che interessa la metà superiore di gran parte delle carte e in specie l'ultima opera, ma buone condizioni. La Congregazione dei Celestini di cui l'accademico Petracchi era membro, fondata da Pietro da Morrone divenuto papa col nome di Celestino V, aveva il controllo dell'Abbazia di S. Stefano dal sec. XV e la mantenne fino alle soppressioni del 1797.

1920réf. COL-4131920. Silver prints 24. Collection of real photo postcard studio-portraits of the African American community of Miami Florida in the 1920s-40s. Eighteen of the photographs are from the "Nu Way Photo Shoppe" a commercial studio located at 939 N.W. 2nd Avenue in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami.The firm was opened by David Jenkins in the early 1940s and catered to a Black clientele. A 1942 issue of "The Crisis" advertises Jenkins' work in Overtown and notes that many of the photographs illustrating the issue were shot by his firm. Included in the collection are portraits of two young women posed proudly in her graduation uniform an identified soldier alongside his sister dapper men in pinstripe suits two-tone shoes and panama hats and equally sharp-dressed women. There are six other photographs from other Miami-area studios. One of a woman seated has an embossed stamp for "Hicks Studio." Run by proprietor James E. Hicks the Hicks Studio was also located in Overtown at 225 N.W. 8th Street and is mentioned in the same issue of "The Crisis." Also included are a fun pair of photos showing a coolly-posed man in an all white suit and a second image showing him with a woman elegantly-clad in all white as well. There are also two photographs in front of the same tropical-backdrop one of a man dressed in a suit with tails holding a cane and bowler and the other of a man and woman. One of the last two photos show a woman in lavish evening wear and the other shows a couple in more conservative attire. The second-oldest continuously inhabited Miami-area neighborhood after Coconut Grove Overtown is located just northwest of downtown. The area was originally settled in the late 19th-century by African American laborers who worked on the construction of the Florida East Coast Railway. Originally known as "Colored Town" it was one of the few places in Miami where black residents were allowed to live. During the early 20th-century Overtown became a thriving cultural center for Miami's black community with numerous businesses restaurants and nightclubs built primarily along Northwest 2nd Avenue where the Nu-Way Photo Shoppe was located. Its thriving Jazz scene earned Overtown the nickname "Little Harlem." In the 1960s Overtown was largely demolished to make way for the construction of Interstate 95 which cut through the heart of the neighborhood. Many homes and businesses were destroyed and the highway effectively cut Overtown off from downtown Miami and the rest of the city. Today revitalization efforts are in place including the restoration of the neighborhood's historic Lyric Theatre.

Pietra nera misure: mm 400 x 255 Pittore. Probabilmente entra giovanissimo nella bottega di Giambattista Piazzetta diventandone senza ombra di dubbio il migliore e il più longevo dei suoi allievi. Ne assimila così profondamente lo stile e la pennellata che ancora oggi diverse sono le opere che dividono la critica circa la loro attribuzione ad una o all’altra mano. Francesco è citato per la prima volta in un documento del 1744 della Fraglia dei Pittori veneziani, tuttavia è molto probabile che già da tempo fosse celebre in città. La sua prima opera documentata è un Immacolata Concezione per la chiesa parrocchiale di Cortona, oggi conservata presso l’oratorio della Villa Tommasi a Metelliano. Nel 1749, grazie all’interessamento del Conte Giacomo Carrara di Bergamo, gli fu commissionata la Pala dei Quattro Santi che adorano la Croce e i due laterali con Santa Lucia e Santa Apollonia per la chiesa di San Martino ad Alzano Lombardo. I dipinti ebbero un grande successo e valsero al pittore la protezione del Conte Carrara ma attirarono l’attenzione anche dei Conti Albani che divennero anch’essi suoi committenti invitando il pittore nel 1757 ad eseguire gli affreschi per casa Albani a Bergamo. Tali affreschi sono considerati dalla critica come il momento centrale dell’attività dell’artista. Pur accettando nel 1755, su segnalazione tra l’altro di Tiepolo e di Pittoni, la nomina a professore del Collegio dell’Accademia di Venezia, l’attività nella bergamasca si fa sempre più intensa. Nel 1762 Capella si trasferisce definitivamente a Bergamo dove apre anche una scuola di pittura particolarmente fiorente. Si tratta di uno studio preparatorio per l'importante pala nella Basilica di San Martino ad Alzano Lombardo, così come attestato anche dalla scritta a matita sul verso, e a giudicare dalle pieghe, fu probabilmente ripiegato e spedito a mo' di lettera. Questo insolito invio di disegni doveva essere una prerogativa dell’autore poiché si conosce un altro suo disegno, proveniente dalla collezione del Conte Carrara ed oggi presso l’Accademia Carrara (Inv. n, 14), che presenta le medesime caratteristiche. Nella metà inferiore del disegno si vede il gruppo di quattro Santi: Santo Stefano a sinistra, San Vincenzo Ferreri, San Francesco Saverio e San Nicola di Bari a destra ritratti in movimentate posture e intenti a rivolge le proprie preghiere verso la parte superiore della composizione dove vediamo due angioletti che sollevano in volo la Croce. Rispetto alla redazione finale su tela vi sono alcune differenze. Santo Stefano anziché avere il braccio sinistro alzato a indicare la Croce ha entrambe le braccia alzate con le mani congiunte in segno di preghiera. Il Santo in piedi risulta leggermente più spostato verso destra, ma la modifica più consistente riguarda gli ultimi due Santi che vengono ricollocati spostando più verso il centro la figura di San Nicola e allontanando sensibilmente verso destra l’ultima figura, a cui viene inoltre cambiato atteggiamento nascondendo le mani che nel dipinto sono invece ben visibili. Il disegno è un tipico esempio dello stile grafico di Capella, caratterizzato dai modi soffici e dal tocco leggero, oltre che dall’uso del gessetto nero. Anche il cielo è realizzato con il caratteristico tratteggio obliquo tipico dell’autore che sfrutta la fragile consistenza del gessetto per creare leggere e movimentate campiture chiaroscurali. Opera in ottimo stato di conservazione eccetto le pieghe descritte. Nonostante la tecnica impiegata, il disegno mantiene tutta la leggerezza e la sensibilità di tocco del maestro veneto.

1890réf. 54541Constantinople: Sebah & Joaillier 1890. First edition. Hardcover. vg- to vg. Oblong small folio. 12 1/4 x 14 1/4". Red pebbled cloth boards with decorative gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the covers. Rebacked maroon leather spine. Gilt-stamped crescent moon and star motif the national emblem of Turkey on the back cover. Taken from the Galata Tower in what is now the Karaköy neighborhood of Istanbul this magnificent panorama displays the skyline and cityscape of Constantinople as it appeared sometime in the late 1880s or early 1890s. The panorama is comprised of 10 original albumen photographs mounted on heavy card stock and bound together in accordion style leporello measuring a total of more then 11 feet when completely unfolded. Shot in a southwardly direction the viewer can see Galata Karaköy in the foreground and from left to right across the Bosporus to the Uskudar district on the Asian side and then across the harbor at the mouth of the Golden Horn the Galata Bridge and across to the Pérama neighborhood and the Faith district where many famous landmarks of the city can be seen including the New Mosque Topkapi Palace Hagia Sophia and many others. Each panel measures about 13" wide and 12" tall. The photography is credited to "Sebah & Joaillier" one of the most prominent and prolific photography studios of Ottoman Empire during the second half of 19th century. Originally founded sometime around 1857 in Instanbul by Syrian-Armenian photographer Pascal Sebah 1823-1886 the studio was one of the earliest in the city and all of Ottoman Turkey. By the 1870s Sebah had become among the most prominent Ottoman photographers having also opened a branch of the studio in Cairo. Upon Sebah's death in 1888 the firm was taken over by his 16 year-old son Jean Pascal Sebah who then partnered with photographer Policarpe Joaillier 1848-1904. The firm was renamed "Sebah & Joaillier". Therefore although this panorama is undated it could not have been issued earlier than 1888; most likely sometime shortly thereafter circa 1890. Spine of of the portfolio has been professionally re-backed. Plates with minor to light foxing although the images are still quite clean and vibrant. Binding in very good images in very good- to very good condition overall. A slightly later version of the panorama from Sebah & Joaillier simply titled "Constantinople" is comprised of 12 slightly smaller panels instead of 10 and measures around the same size in total.

réf. 83369Paris c.1930s. . Six gelatin silver prints 22 x 16 cm. Very good condition and with very good tone. Framed. A series of six nude studies showing the same model posing in the photographer's studio. The style of the photographs which artistically combines high and low art allows to attribute the authorship to the Grundworth studio which is known to have been producing erotic postcards in Paris from the 1890s to the 1930s. Like most of the studios engaged in production of erotic photographs and postcards of the time little is known about it as despite the widespread circulation of these cards their production and distribution was illegal in France hence anonymity was essential. Given the time span and a number of different styles the name is unlikely to represent an individual photographer but more likely a group of photographers who were perhaps better known but wanted to hide their real identities.
