EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Lazzaroni on the Shore of the Bay of Naples" takes us back to 19th-century Italy, where we find ourselves immersed in a picturesque coastal scene. The artist, Samuel Read, beautifully captures the essence of life along the Bay of Naples with his meticulous attention to detail. In this print, we see a bustling bay filled with boats and ships navigating through calm waters. A large tugboat stands out among them, symbolizing the importance of transportation and trade in this vibrant Italian port city. The Lazzaroni people, who were impoverished Neapolitans living near the shore at that time, are depicted going about their daily activities. They form an integral part of this lively scene as they engage in various tasks such as fishing or tending to their boats. The Italian flag proudly flutters atop one vessel, reminding us of the strong national identity that permeates throughout this coastal region. As our gaze follows along the coastline, we are captivated by its natural beauty – rugged cliffs contrasting against tranquil blue waters. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News in November 1856 and has since become a cherished piece within private collections worldwide. Through Read's skillful artistry and attention to detail, he transports us back in time to experience firsthand the charm and allure of life on the shores of Naples Bay.
