The Wilkinson Album: A Journey Through 19th Century Italy The Wilkinson Album, a captivating collection of albumen print and salted paper prints from the 1840s to the 1860s, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of 19th century Italy. This exquisite album, created by the skilled hands of Luigi Pesce, Henri de Couliboeuf de Blocqueville, Antonio Giannuzzi, and Frances Carlhian, is a testament to the artistic innovation and historical significance of this period. Luigi Pesce, an Italian photographer, captured the essence of Italy through his lens, documenting the beauty of its landscapes, buildings, and people. His black and white images, showcased in the Wilkinson Album, are a stark yet breathtaking depiction of the country's historic sites and scenes. Henri de Couliboeuf de Blocqueville, a French aristocrat and avid collector, contributed to the album with his extensive knowledge and appreciation for the arts. His annotations and notes add context and depth to the images, making the album a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike. Antonio Giannuzzi and Frances Carlhian, both Italian artists, added their unique perspectives to the album through their illustrations. Giannuzzi's drawings of Italian architecture complement Pesce's photographs, while Carlhian's intricate sketches of daily life add a personal touch to the collection. The Wilkinson Album is now part of the permanent collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and culture of 19th century Italy. This album is a must-see for anyone interested in the arts, history, or the Italian experience during this fascinating period.
