Souvenirs of Venice.
This is a set of 11 c. 1890 lithographs of Venice, Italy, after the photography of Carlo Naya. All 11 images are lithographed versions of photographs taken by Carlo Naya, an Italian photographer known for his work relating to Venice.A Closer Look
The 11 photographs highlight important landmarks across the city. These include the Rialto Bridge, a view of the Grand Canal highlighting the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Campanile, St. Mark's Basilica, the courtyard of the Doge's Palace, the façade of the Doge's Palace, the entrance to the Arsenal, the Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri), St. Mark's Square, the Marciana Library, St. Mark's Clock, and a panorama from the Campanile that looks toward Santa Maria della Salute.Publication History and Census
These lithographs were created and published c. 1890. Naya's original photographs were likely converted to lithographic images to print them more economically for the tourist market. We have not found any other cataloged examples.Cartographer
Carlo Naya (August 2, 1816 - May 30, 1882) was an Italian photographer known for his images of Venice. Born in Tronzano di Vercelli, Naya studied law at the University of Pisa. He traveled Europe on an inheritance and operated a photographic studio in Istanbul in 1845. He opened his studio in Venice in 1857. His wife ran his studio after his death, and, at some point, her second husband took over. The studio closed in 1918, and publisher Osvaldo Böhm bought most of Naya's archive. Further Details...
