About This Item
Firenze: Per Francesco Cardinali, 1830. 12mo. 165 x 95 mm. (6 ½ x 3 ½ inches). viii, 167 pp. Later blue paper wrappers; some minor wear to the wrappers, first signature with stain to upper right corner of each leaf. Good copy.
An early collection catalogue of the prints of Marc'Antonio Raimondi, formed by the little know 19th century artist, Gianantonio Armano. In the introduction to his catalogue Armano outlines its purpose and method of purchasing the collection over time. It includes over 900 prints, 600 of which are original, the remainder were reengraved or copied from the original. The catalogue is organized in six chapters and each of the prints described include details about the content and some commentary on importance. A note on the verso of the title-page suggests that those interested in purchasing the collection should contact Ulisse Giudi in Bologna or Francesco Cardinali in Florence.
Before putting together this collection of Raimondi's prints, Armano collected the works of Giulio Bonasone and produced a similar catalogue in 1820.
Hind, Etching and Engraving, p 454. ICCU cites 3 copies in Italian libraries; OCLC cites copies at Getty, National Gallery and University of Chicago.
