Title devised by cataloger.
Biographical/historical: Cia (Lucia) Fornaroli, the owner of this collection, was an Italian ballerina, teacher, choreographer, and director. She was married to Walter Toscanini, the son of conductor Arturo Toscanini, whose work as a dance historian, editor, collector, and curator complemented her contributions to the field of dance. This collection may have been used as a reference for period and ethnic costumes.
Physical Description
Etchings
Extent: 29 prints : etching, hand-colored ; 28 x 19 cm. or smaller.
Each leaf is stamped on the verso: Ex libris Cia Fornaroli.
Description
Leaves from two or more unidentified books, probably dating from the nineteenth century. Most depict a single figure standing on a small patch of ground. Thirteen are captioned in French, and depict historical and religious figures, including some named individuals. Sixteen are captioned in Italian, with some stylistic differences among them: that is, some include background objects or furnishings, and a single example captioned "Majo" is printed on a tinted ground, with a landscape behind the figure. A few prints are signed or initialed; among the legible signatures are H. Cobb, Doms et Mors, E. Duverger, H. Estaquier, Markaert, At. [?] Pannemaker, Philippin, Lacoste et fils, and Vermorcken.
