Notes
The Wunder Album was given to the artist, Giuseppe Gibelli, upon graduation from the Brera Academy, in Milan in 1884, by Luigi Bisi (1814-1886) President of the Academy, for excellence in his work as a student. Gibelli, who came to America, executed mural decorations in some of the Atlantic City hotels. He died in 1932, and the album passed to his grandson, Robert A. Baldini.
