Specialist Notes

First and only edition. This particularly rare copy contains an additional plate, "The Match Seller," not included in the original text but added in pen by a contemporary hand to the index. The plates were engraved by L. Buonocore, a master engraver, who offered a realistic, lively, and yet linear interpretation of Neapolitan folklore.
