Engraving of a period carriage, drawn by a horse decorated with plumes, passing near a stretch of the ocean boulevard in Naples. Many people are in the carriage: women, a child, some men and a religious holding a parasol. On the road, women with baskets of fruit, a shepherd boy, a dog lying down. Near the parapet of the boulevard are some children. Two sailboats on the sea

EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the Essence of Naples: A Glimpse into 19th Century Charm". Step back in time with this exquisite engraving by Giorgio Sommer, titled PDC-F-002049-0000. Transporting us to the enchanting streets of Naples during the late 1800s, this print unveils a picturesque scene that encapsulates the essence of an era long gone. As our eyes wander across the image, we are immediately drawn to a magnificent period carriage gracefully passing along the ocean boulevard. Adorned with plumes and pulled by a majestic horse, it exudes elegance and grandeur. Within its confines, we find a diverse group of passengers - women adorned in fashionable attire, men engrossed in conversation, and even a religious figure sheltered beneath a parasol. The vibrant street comes alive as we delve deeper into this snapshot from history. Women carrying baskets brimming with luscious fruits add splashes of color against the backdrop of bustling activity. A shepherd boy tends to his flock nearby while a loyal dog rests peacefully on the road's edge. Our gaze extends beyond land towards two sailboats gently gliding upon calm waters. The sea serves as both an idyllic setting and a reminder of Naples' coastal charm. Nearby children lean against parapets lining the boulevard; their youthful curiosity evident as they observe passersby and perhaps dream about future adventures at sea or on distant shores. Sommer's meticulous attention to detail brings every element within this engraving to life – from intricate architectural features adorning buildings to delicate waves caressing sandy shores. This remarkable piece offers not only an artistic masterpiece but also provides us with invaluable insight into daily life during one of Italy's most captivating periods. It is truly an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in history and experience firsthand what once was.
