[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

A Collection of Ten Catalogs of Photographs of Art issued Between 1920 
and 1929 by Istituto di Edizioni Artistiche I.D.E.A.

Published in Florence: 1920-1929.

The famous Italian art photography firm Istituto di Edizioni Artistiche 
I.D.E.A. was founded as a public company in 1920 by Vittorio Alinari, 
and was a natural progression from the family business begun by his 
uncle Leopoldo Alinari in Florence in 1854. The three Alinari brothers- 
Leopoldo, Joseph and Romauld had been pioneers in the business of 
selling stock photographs of art and artistic monuments, starting with a 
single photographer and eventually developing one of the largest 
libraries of original images in the world, experimenting with new 
methods of reproduction as they were developed, and winning a gold medal 
at the Paris World Exhibition in 1889.

These stock catalogs listed the images available for specific regions of 
Italy. Abruzzi e Puglie (1920) - Lazio (1926) - L'Emilia, I: Bologna II: 
Citta Minori (1926, 1927) - Marche (with Correzioni sheet, dated 1928) - 
Umbria (1929) - Rome, I: Le Chiese (1927), II: Gallerie e Musei (1928), 
III: Case, Palazzi, Torri e Ville (1929), IV: Monumenti di Roma Antica 
(1929).

Softcovers. 10 volumes. 6.5"x9.5", 24 to 204 pages (most between 50 and 
100), no illustrations. Minor wear, a few cover chips, one volume 
detached from the covers, pages a bit age-toned, some binding cracks and
