Summary
Catalogue, Thornton-Pickard, January 1920. 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.
Physical Description
23 page catalogue. Contains information about various Thorton-Pickard products. Extensive printed text in black. Vincenzo Candela's logo for his photographic business has been stamped on the front in purple ink (FOTOGRAFO/VINCENZO CANDELA/VIGGIANO).
