DEROY (ISIDORE LAURENT)
Footnotes
Rare series of lithographs by Deroy, lithographer, watercolourist and landscape painter, many of whose prints were published in album form.
Provenance: Contessa Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt (1885-1971, noted collector, gallerist, philanthropist and patron of the arts), ink stamp on front paste-down ("Collezione Contessa Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt. Roma sparita"). The Countess's famous collection of Roman prints, books, drawings and paintings came to be known as "Roma Sparita" because of its nostalgic focus on a bygone era of the city. When she died in 1971, she left the drawings and paintings to the Museo di Roma, while her collection of prints and published works were sold and dispersed.
