Lithograph mm 310x480 on sheet 457x618, hand-painted. Splendid general view taken of the Ronchi towards the west with the cathedral and the Cidneo hill with the castle in the foreground; from the rare series "Italie". Splendid example with full margins practically free of defects. Louis Auguste Turgis (Gouville dans la Manche, 1818 – Paris, 1894), was a French printer and publisher. Very little information is available on this individual despite the obvious influence he had on the print trade around Europe and in New York at the time. His father was a print merchant in Paris from at least 1828. Louis Le Jeune joined the business around 1856. Between 1851 and 1874, the business was dedicated almost exclusively to religious imagery. They had workshops in Paris (rue des Écoles, 60), in Toulouse and a branch in New York (78 Duane St.). His wife took over the business (Maison Turgis) after his death and up to the Second World War.
