A series of fine lithographed views of Odesa by the Simferopol born artist.
Friedrich (Feodor) Gross was the son of a German colonist and moved to Odesa in the 1840s, where he started working at the printmaking studio of Alexander Braun. Despite the competitive environment of the capital of the Novorossiysk region, which was home to many prominent painters, works of the young artist soon received recognition from the demanding public. Such support enabled him to publish an album titled 'Vidy Kryma' [Views of Crimea] in 1846, which included 54 plates that he lithographed himself after his paintings. He then started on this series of views of Odesa and in 1854-55 a local publisher Frantsov & Nitche printed the views which included, amonst others: Odesa... Maison du Comte Tolstoi; Rue Preobrajenskaia; La Quaratine; Descente, au port de pratique; L'église Prakowskaja.
Scarce: Not in Obolyaninov, Vereshchagin, Sopikov or the RNB or WorldCat.
Collection of 8 lithographed prints, sheet 21 x 28 cm, image ca. 10 x 19 cm; some light soiling.
