Giuseppe Moretti,
1857-1935 Scrapbooks
1888-1937 Location, Vault
INTRODUCTION
The Giuseppe Moretti
scrapbook was donated to the Julia
Tutwiler Library by Miss Geneva
Mercer of Demopolis, Alabama, in
1983. Mr. Moretti designed and
executed the casting of VULCAN, and
he was the first sculptor to use
Alabama marble for works of art.
Miss Mercer, who studied at
the Alabama Normal College,
Livingston, Alabama, began studying
with Mr. Moretti in 1907, and she
continued to work in his studio
until he died in 1935. She lived
with Moretti and his wife in Italy,
New York, Pittsburgh, Boston ,
Sylacauga, and Talladega. Miss
Mercer inherited the Moretti
scrapbook upon the death of Mrs.
Moretti. Miss Mercer died March 2,
1984, at the age of 95.
The original leather-bound
14 1/2 x 14 112 scrapbook contained
511 items. These items have been
arranged in four 18 1/2 x 22 112
binders. Included with the scrapbook
is Miss Mercer's publication
"Complete List of the Sculpture of
Giuseppe Moretti: From the Time He
Came to the United States in 1888
until His Death in 1935." In this
publication, as well as in the
scrapbook, Miss Mercer gives the
description, interpretation,
history, and background to Moretti's
most significant works.
SCOPE AND
CONTENT NOTE
The Giuseppe Moretti
scrapbook contains 511 item relating
to his work. These items include 376
photographs, 29 original
drawings, 39 letters, 52 newspaper
clippings, 2 postal cards, 4
magazine covers, 2 magazine
articles, 2 telegrams, 1 dedication
program, 1 invitation, 1 original
manuscript, and 1 contract. Miss
Geneva Mercer's publication, "The
Complete List of the Sculpture of
Giuseppe Moretti: From the time He
Came to the United States in 1888
until His Death in 1935," is
included in the scrapbook. Miss
Mercer's publication gives excellent
descriptions, interpretations,
history, and background to Moretti's
most significant works. Similar
information is also found in the
scrapbook.
While the scrapbook
includes some photographs of
Moretti's work before he came to
America in 1888 and after he
returned to Italy in ca. 1930, most
of the collection pertains to the
sculpture he designed and created
while living in the United States.
The scrapbook contains examples of
all types and sizes of sculpture.
However, it is strongest in
sculpture done for public parks in
the Pittsburgh, Pa. area, sculpture
commemorating historical events,
World War I memorials, and memorial
tablets and monuments of prominent
citizens throughout the United
States, but primarily in the North
and East. The scrapbook also
contains photographs of most of the
Moretti sculpture located in Alabama
or sculpture located in other places
but made from Alabama marble.
