Helping Preserve Another Great Collection (Part 4)

Sifting through my friend's massive collection, I happened on a batch of monarchist-themed prints. Definitely worth another look, I first saw these back in 2019 at his old office. However, if I remember correctly, they were part of a larger assemblage of works. I specifically remember a hand-colored lithograph depicting the Neapolitan Industrial Exhibition on 28 May 1853 and Tommaso De Vivo's oversized Storia del Regno delle Due Sicilie (1833), among others, being a part of the set. Somehow these pieces got separated and mixed in with other documents. With several storage facilities brimming with artifacts to pore over, the hunt for the missing works will be intriguing, to say the least.
