| Object history | Count Ivan Forray travelled to Italy, Malta and Egypt in 1842. This album, dedicated to his widow the Count had died in 1852 and published posthumously by his mother, contains extracts fromhis letters home. The text was printed in Budapest in 1857, while the lithographs and highly decorated leather binding were produced in Vienna in 1859. Although attributed to Forray in the text of the album, the drawings may possibly derive from more than one hand. |
