<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Goodykoontz, post: 9864138, member: 82566&quot;]hi everyone.&nbsp; i found this old framed photograph in a Goodwill the other day.&nbsp; It kind of fascinated me.&nbsp; the picture i&#039;ve provided below has some areas that look a little light.&nbsp; that&#039;s due to glare.&nbsp; this image has an amazingly rich tonal quality to it all over.&nbsp; this is a photograph of the Sibilla Libica, which is a part of Michelangelo&#039;s Sistine Chapel ceiling.&nbsp; what i&#039;m trying to determine is, what kind of photograph is this?&nbsp; on the backside there&#039;s the remnants of a tag attached to the upper left corner of the frame.&nbsp; in that tag is the name Alinari.&nbsp; the Alinari brothers are really famous photographers from Italy.&nbsp; Romualdo Alinari did do an albumen print from a glass negative of this subject back in the mid 1850s.&nbsp; other photographers have also done photographs of this in the 19th century as well.&nbsp; However, examples of the Alinari image that i&#039;ve found online are somewhat smaller than this image.&nbsp; they measure 9 7/8&quot; x 7 5/8&quot;.&nbsp; this measures 16 1/4&quot;x 12 3/8&quot;, so it&#039;s a pretty large picture.&nbsp; based on everything i understand regarding albumen prints, this is an albumen print, but i guess i&#039;m looking for confirmation.&nbsp; also, doe anyone have any suggestions for positively attributing this to Alinari?&nbsp; as an Alinari print, even with damage, it would be worth a bit of money.&nbsp; i don&#039;t know that the name on the back alone is enough.&nbsp; any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks[ATTACH=full]494726[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494727[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
