Ferdinando Ongania [1842 - 1911] was an Italian antiquarian bookseller, with a shop in St. Mark's Square in Venice. From 1861 until his death in 1911 he devoted himself almost entirely to the printing of illustrated art books. His love of Venice inspired him to record the architecture of his beloved city.

Description for this print from the original index page from the publication
"A church built in the XIV century and dedicated to S. Martha once stood in the immediate neighbourhood; but this remote and populous quarter of the city lost its artistic character in 1883 when numerous buildings were demolished to make way for the new Cotton Mills."
