Better Late Than Never: Historical Prints from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies

It appears I didn’t just forget to post Tommaso De Vivo’s (c.1790-1884) oversized bilingual (French and Italian) Storia del Regno Delle Due Sicilie (1833) back in 2019; I somehow neglected to share a handful of other loose pages, including an amazing illustration of King Ferdinando I of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies as the “restorer or religion,” portraits of King Ferdinando II and Queen Maria Teresa, and a hand-colored lithograph depicting the Neapolitan Industrial Exhibition on 28 May 1853.
