Photographs

Collection


The Photographic Collection of the Archivio Storico Ricordi originated during the second half of the 1800s and covers the whole of the 1900s, counting thousands of items thanks mainly to the interest shown by Giulio Ricordi for this new artform. Photography had become an increasingly indispensable medium within an editor’s production system, as evidenced by Casa Ricordi’s early periodicals such as Musica e Musicisti and Ars et Labor. This section includes a list of the nearly 900 photographic studios that collaborated with Ricordi, including many of the national and international big names in photography.
