EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century photograph, titled "65 Chaitamoni, Naples," is a hand-colored calotype print created by the renowned English photographer, Reverend Calvert Richard Jones (1813-1888). Printed circa 1846, this image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the vibrant and picturesque city of Naples, Italy. Located in the Campania region on the western coast of the Italian peninsula, Naples is a city rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. In this photograph, we see a panoramic view of the city, with the sunlit Bay of Naples stretching out before us. The sun casts a warm glow over the buildings and geographical features, illuminating the intricate details of the solar system's celestial body. Jones, a reverend and amateur scientist, was known for his pioneering work in photography and astronomy. His expertise in both fields is evident in this image, which not only captures the architectural and geographical wonders of Naples but also showcases the scientific accuracy of the calotype process. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to house this rare and valuable photograph in its collection. It serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 19th century and offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Naples and Italy as a whole. This hand-colored calotype print is a beautiful example of the rich heritage of art and science that exists between the two disciplines. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
