Description

View taken from the famous Letture di Famiglia Opera Illustrata con incisioni in acciaio che si pubblica dalla sezione Letterario Artistica del Lloyd Austriaco, published in Trieste between 1852 to 1862.

Lloyd Triestino is the oldest Italian shipping company and one of the oldest in the world. It was founded in 1836 under the name Austrian Insurance Lloyd, as Trieste was still under the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  The Company's first steps were accompanied by the publication of the Lloyd's Journal, which reported maritime and commercial news. This section had its own modern printing press, which edited the publication until it was discontinued in 1931. On June 21, 1849, Lloyd officially established a "Literary-Artistic Section," contributing greatly to the spread and development of Italian culture in Trieste and Istria. Among the most important editorial initiatives we recall for technical publications the Annuario Marittimo and the Rivista Marittima, for artistic-literary ones the Letture di famiglia, one of the first if not the first great Italian illustrated magazine that counted among its contributors: Aleardi, the two Cantùs, Maffei, Rosmini, Carcano.

Copperplate, finely hand coloured, in perfect condition.
