An unmounted albumen print showing the catacombs of the Capuchin monks at Palermo in Sicily.

Photographed by Giuseppe Incorpora (1834-1914) of Palermo, whose career as a photographer began in the 1860’s. He was later joined in the business by his sons, Francesco, Giovanni, and Salvatore. The studio is the subject of a recent monograph, Gli Incorpora 1860-1940, published by the Instituto Superiore per la Storia della Fotografia.

The print measures 7.7” by 10.1” (196 mm by 257 mm), including a narrow band along the lower edge, not shown in scan, on which the title of the photograph is given and the photographer identified.
