Abstract: "The Zeri Photo Library holds an important collection of over 14,000 old photographs, which the Foundation has been studying and cataloging for years. They are precious prints (coals, aristotypes, albumines, gelatins with silver salts) made between 1870 and 1920 that represent works of painting, sculpture and monuments. It is a very varied material for provenance, techniques and authors, which has a considerable interest both in the history of art and in the history of photography. Through sixteen case studies, chosen among the many possible in Zeri's photographic archive and illustrated by an accurate set of images, the volume investigates the multiple aspects related to photography of artistic historical reproduction between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In particular, we wanted to highlight the possible links between works of art and photography. The work is enriched by a repertoire of 85 photographers working in that period. Some are famous names, others are almost unknown to literature, but their activity deserves investigation. The publication was made possible thanks to the experience and skills of the Federico Zeri Foundation in the study, conservation and cataloging of these important historical materials. The essays are the result of a research that has led in many cases to unpublished results."--
