Souvenir booklet and program for the exhibition of Philippoteaux' massive circular panorama Le Siége de Paris. Philippoteaux completed his original panorama in 1872 when it becamse a cause célèbre in Paris; the Boston impresario T.E. Halleck commissioned a duplicate which he put on display in Boston beginning in 1875. The current program never mentions Phiippoteaux by name leading us to wonder whether Halleck may have commissioned artisan painters to execute the facsimile.

"A particularly happy moment perhaps the highest of the creativity of the Genoese silversmiths and the object of a multi-year investigation of which this volume collects the results touching on the internal relationships of the art of the Fraveghi the reasons and the aspirations of the clients the variety and peculiarities of production. Field research has considered a territory that includes Genoa its ancient Domain and the areas reached by that specific culture: therefore Corsica and Sardenga the Nice area the lower Piedmont and the nearby Tuscany. A repertoire of over a thousand largely unpublished specimens ordered chronologically and by 'sacred' and 'profane' types highlights the dynamics of the stylistic evolution and provides scholars for the first time with a large and tidy carpet of comparisons. The personal punches of the masters detected on the pieces or attested on a documentary basis are ordered in a special prospectus. A biographical dictionary rich in over seven hundred names is also dedicated to silversmiths and their careers a result that was all the more surprising for a century whose production had always been considered anonymous."- dust jacket Includes bibliographical references pages 533-540 and index.
