One large silver gelatin photo sized 7.5 x 9.25 in. mounted on thin gray studio board sized 10.5 x 13.5 in. block lettering on verso referring to date and indicating it was sent by the Abbot Kinney Co. minor creasing to image very slight minor scuffing still a VG- image with strong bright contrast. An exceedingly scarce original promotional photo for the Aquarium & Museum built at the end of Abbott Kinney’s famed amusement pier and patronized by visitors on the Balloon Route Excursion train operated by the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad Electric Railway Co. The Venice Aquarium was opened in January 1909 on Kinney’s Pier and featured some of the finest marine specimens of any private or public Aquarium on the West Coast. A fish hatchery and sea lions were located in the rear of the aquarium. The aquarium later became the official marine biological station for the University of Southern California. Unfortunately in 1920 a month after the death of Kinney the entire pier was destroyed in a fire including the popular aquarium.

160123709Venice: Ducal Palace 1601. Leaf. Fine. Single page of vellum 12 by 16 inches folded and with cuts along two margins to seal the page. Five lines of manuscript the first two in Latin then two in Italian and the last in Latin identifying Marino di Carvallo as the Venetian Ambassador appointed by the Doge of Venice to the King of France Henry IV of Navarre. Signed at the end in Latin "Leonardus Octobonus" for the Council of Ten. He later held the post of Grand Chancellor of Venice.<br /> <p><br /> "Marino Gramani Doge of Venice sends greetings and affection to the Most Christian King through our noble and wise faithful and beloved Ambassador Marino di Cavallo." It then references the decision of the Council of Ten the Venetian Governing Body and finishes with "Dated in the Ducal Palace this 4th day of April.1601."<br /> <p><br /> The Doge Marino Gremani antagonized Pope Paul IV by trying two priests under Venetian not canon law to which the Pope responded by placing Venice under Interdict. The Ottoboni were an aristocratic Venetian family which provided Venice with more than one Chancellor and ultimately produced Pope Alexander VIII. Marino de Caballo was also from an aristocratic Venetian family and was a noted physician as well as an Ambassador who believed that the most important aspect of his job was to provide an excellent chef and fine food. Finally Henry IV of Navarre a Huguenot ruler of Navarre as Henry III secured the throne of France by converting to Catholicism: "Paris is worth a Mass." Five years later he signed the Edict of Nantes the landmark drecree granting religious tolerance to Protestants and which helped end the Wars of Religion.<br /> <p>. Ducal Palace unknown

17971504061797. ZANETTI Anton Maria and Marco BOSCHINI. Della pittura veneziana trattato in cui osservasi l'ordine del Busching e si conserva la dottrina e le definizioni del Zanetti. Two volumes. viii 145 i.e. 245 3 including final blank pp.; 256 i.e. 272 pp. each volume illustrated with an engraved frontispiece. 8vo 165 x 110 mm. bound alike in contemporary paste paper decorated with red flowers against a striped ground later glassine wrappers. Venice: Presso Francesco Tosi 1797. First edition based on Boschini's Le Minere della pittura 1664 and Zanetti's Della Pittura Veneziana 1771 with additions by the publisher Tosi. Both Boschini and Zanetti were of fundamental importance to the history of art in Venice. Schlosser-Magnino calls Boschini's guide "the first true artistic guide to Venice" and Zanetti's inventory of Venetian painting "one of the best in its genre" p. 548. This handy set combines their work into a comprehensive practical guide to monuments of Venetian art and architecture including a final section Istoria della Pittura Veniziana sic with biographies of artists; and an addition made in 1797 identifying paintings that were transported out of Venice by military force the same year. Marco Boschini 1613-1678 was a Venetian painter engraver and art dealer whose most important client Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici commissioned him to purchase Venetian paintings for the Medici collection. Zanetti 1706-1778 was the librarian to the famed Marciana Library in Venice for forty years and his familiarity with the art and artists of his city and his access to library records helped to produce his remarkable books. On Zanetti's guide Cicognara adds: "This is the best of the works which deal with Venetian painting and if every principal city possessed a book so arranged and executed we should have gathered together the materials for the best general history of art".

1729ST16379-042Venezia Venice: Appresso Carlo Buonarrigo 1729. FIRST EDITION. 155 x 105 mm. 6 1/8 x 4 1/8. 1 p.l. extra engraved title 122 pp. <br/> Original cream-colored wrapper of heavy paper silk ribbon stitching remnants of old shelf label at foot of spine. Extra engraved title page depicting the Bucinotoro in all its glory surmounted by the Lion of St. Mark emblem of Venice. Front pastedown with bookplate of the duke of Arenberg Castle Nordkirchen. Cicognara 4369. Binding lightly soiled front pastedown lifting occasional faint yellowing to margins other trivial imperfections but still A VERY FINE COPY--clean bright and especially fresh in its remarkably well-preserved fragile binding.<br/> <br/> This is a detailed account of the magnificent Bucintoro—a ceremonial ship used in the annual ritual in which the Doge of Venice was symbolically wedded to the sea— unveiled in 1729. The city known as La Serenissima had long been a major port for trade between Europe and points East and the people honored the role played by the Mediterranean Sea in the Republic's prosperity. Beginning in 1311 the head of state sailed forth each year on Ascension Day to be "married" to the sea aboard a boat called the Bucintoro. The wooden ship was restored or rebuilt from time to time through the centuries and in 1719 the Venetian Senate commissioned a brand new vessel to be richly ornamented and even bedecked with gold. <br /> <br /> Our volume describes the process by which the finest artists and artisans of the day--from shipbuilders to sculptors and painters--created the largest and most lavish Bucintoro in history. The engraved title page shows the stately craft in full rig banners flying as Doge Alvise Mocenigo is rowed out to meet his marine bride. Cicognara notes the volume's value in preserving for posteriority these memories of Italian greatness--and that greatness lasted only a relatively short time because after the fall of the Venetian Republic in 1797 Napoleon had the Bucintoro stripped of its finery. The denuded and humiliated ship was then used by the Austrian navy until 1824 sailing under the name "Hydra."<br /> <br /> The presence of a binding identical to ours on several copies in sales records suggests that these may have been the publisher's original wrappers which have weathered the years surprisingly well. The text here is deeply impressed on thick paper upholding the fine tradition of Venetian printing. Appresso Carlo Buonarrigo unknown
