Peretti Griva prints - what type exactly?

Hi everyone. I bought the folder below for 5 euros at a flea market. It contains 12 Domenico Riccardo Peretti Griva prints. I personally find them beutiful and mesmerizing but was wondering whether anyone would know what kind of print this is. They are photographs but look almost like charcoal/pencil drawings. There are no stamps on the back. The titles are on the bottom left corner and the signature on the right. I noticed that the signature is different on each one. Could they be signed by Domenico himself?

I found a couple of books on the internet with similar covers as the folder but no print collections like this one. Also some of the prints have sparkling dust particles on them. Thank you in advance for all your help!

PS:
I did not find this series of prints, but searching suggests that prints signed in pencil and having some sort of stamp on the back, demand the higher prices. This is the first time I've viewed his work, and they are very nice.

 

Thank you! Very helpful. I'm not sure what is the difference between bromoil print and a bromoil print transfer. Maybe these are transfers?

 

please show more details, especially any editor prints etc..
he was a widely known photographer that did the contrasting himself by hand.
it's unclear to me if it was a sign of his resistenza against Benito the Midget to use the French names of the places; Mussolini tried to italianize everything.
they could also be from the 1950s when life started to become normal.

what a beauty.

 

Thank you for the extra bits of information! There isn't anything more than what you see in the pictures, no writings re the publisher, no stamps, no reliefs, nothing...

 

I'd try to contact Turin officials -perhaps via one of the links in the bibliografia. could be a little trasure you unearthed.

 

I will do and I'll report back.

 

What are the dimensions of the folder and prints?

 

Peretti Griva appears to have published a series of portfolios of his photographs of the Aosta Valley, in the 1950s, which look similar to your set. The images are variously described as photogravures, bromoil, and bromoil transfers. I have not found another copy of your particular portfolio yet, so can't confirm the number of images that would have been originally included. But there was probably a title page in the set that is now missing. Compare the dimensions and bindings of yours to these:
