[RISORGIMENTO - CARICATURE] - Lotto di 29 stampe satiriche acquarellate relative ai moti del 1848 e alle 5 giornate. [Milan: vari editori tra cui: Bertotti, Bravetta, Bossi, 1845-50]. A beautiful collection of mordant Milanese caricatures of the period of the 1848 insurrection. The main subject of the attacks is obviously the hated general Radetsky together with Francesco Ferdinando and Luigi Bolza, the Milanese police chief. The vivid illustrations show all the intolerance for ""the hated foreigner"" and the caricatural image that the Milanese people had of the Austrians. Unusual popular witness of the Risorgimento. 29 watercolored plates of different size (some browning and general defects). Provenance: Nullo Musini (private ownership stamp on the back of some of the prints).
