Summary
Catalogue, 1913 to 1914 catalogue for Ing. IPP. Cattaneo. Used by Vincenzo Candela in his photographic business in Viggiano, Italy. He specialised in portraiture, landscape and village life, and had a well established client base. After his migration to Australia in 1920 Vincenzo continued to use his photographic equipment, more as a hobby than a trade, taking photos of family members and friends in his home, with impromptu backdrops such as a rug or a sheet.

A5 size booklet with 91 pages. The front cover has a photograph of a young woman. Vincenzo Candela's seal has been stamped on the front in purple. The catalogue has advertisements and information on various cameras and photographic equipment.
