Abstract

This paper focuses on a series of 25 photographic albums assembled by amateur photographer Giulio Guicciardini Corsi Salviati (1887-1958) during his lifetime. A close analysis of the photographs and of the materiality of these albums according to Martha Langford’s notion of “oral-photographic framework” reveals their inherent narrative content and their original function as mnemonic devices for the construction the family’s history.
