Portrait Of Giuseppe Garibaldi - Ancient Albumen Print - 1870s 1870s

Chairish

$384

Albumen Portrait of Giuseppe Garibaldi is an albunen photographic print made by Giovanni Puppo in Milan around 1870. Dim: 14,5 x 11 Header of photographer on the lower edge on the front and on the back. Print is in very good conditions, without any dent on the cardboard but only some foxing. Good croming of albumen print. This is a rare portrait of Giuseppe Garibaldi (1808 - 1882) a photographer whose works are very hard to find. We have no biographical information of Giuseppe Puppo, we can think that having portrayed Garibaldi was a sign of high technical and stylistic prestige. From the style of cardboard and the age of Garibaldi, this portrait was certainly made in the mid 70s of the nineteenth century. In the picture the hero appears not yet afflicted by old age, showing a proud profile and the tricolor scarf tied around his neck. The care used in the print is very interesting, leaving only the face visible, giving an ethereal sense to Garibaldi's physiognomy
