Specialist Notes

An extremely rare collection of eight lithographs published by Cuciniello and Bianchi, likely drawn from their first comprehensive collection of color plates (approximately 30), drawn by Michela de Vito. They were later reworked by Gatti and Dura following the closure of Cuciniello and Bianchi. The plates included are: Christening Sedan Chair; Neapolitan Carriage, known as "with Poles"; Tarallaro; Sellers of New Wine; the Cobbler known as Solechianiello; Seller of Fried Mila; Son Brawl; Funeral.
