James Craig Annan Venice & Lombardy (Portfolio)1896

Not on view
Etching of a Venetian lagoon with a silhouetted gondola to the left and a low city skyline in the distance, on cream paper
Sepia-toned photogravure of a Venetian waterfront scene; a robed friar stands at the right beside a weathered stone column, facing away; in the background, workers on a dock and a domed church across the lagoon.
Gelatin silver print of a religious procession outdoors, with robed figures carrying tall ornate candelabra; Latin funerary text printed below the photographic image.
Sepia-toned photogravure of a street market scene; a crouching figure uses a hand scale at ground level while a standing figure in a striped wrap looks on; a third figure and a cart visible in the background before a Venetian building; text reading "CAMPO SAN MARGHERITA" along the bottom edge.
Sepia-toned photogravure or etching of a figure seated against a stone wall beneath an open umbrella, with brooms or tools leaning against the wall to the left; handwritten inscription below the image.
Etching or aquatint of a Venetian waterfront scene in muted gray tones, with a prominent equestrian statue silhouetted against the sky, a domed basilica in the distance, figures crowding the quayside, and buildings receding along the right edge.
Etching of a wide, low-horizon agricultural scene; two yoked oxen pull a plow guided by a standing figure, with additional ox teams and figures receding into the distance across a flat field, rolling hills beyond.
Etching in warm sepia tones, wide panoramic landscape with a large flock of sheep spreading across an open field, two standing figures among the herd, rolling hills and a treeline in the distance.
Sepia-toned photogravure of a Venetian canal scene, with moored wooden boats beneath a wooden footbridge, multi-story buildings lining the waterway, and figures visible on the bridge and quay; reflections of boats and structures ripple across the foreground water.
Etching or photogravure of two figures outside a rough stone building; a child in a patterned robe stands in the foreground near a dark doorway, while a second small figure sits against the wall in the background beside hanging laundry.
Sepia-toned salted paper print of two men in white robes and wide-brimmed black hats, walking side by side; one holds a cane. Soft focus with warm brown tones and a handwritten inscription at lower right.
