EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a historic moment during the Italian Risorgimento. The image showcases Camillo Berso de Cavour, the influential statesman and prime minister of Italy, as he orchestrates a thunderous applause from the first Italian national parliament for King Victor Emmanuel II. Dated 18th February 1861, this illustration captures the essence of unity and nationalism that characterized Italy's struggle for unification. Cavour's strategic political maneuvers paved the way for an independent and united Italy under King Victor Emmanuel II's reign. The composition exudes power and authority as Cavour stands tall, waving his hand with conviction while members of parliament join in applauding their beloved king. This visual representation symbolizes not only admiration but also signifies the collective efforts of Italians to establish a monarchy that would lead them towards progress and prosperity. This chromolitho print was part of an album on Risorgimento history commissioned by Talmone chocolate company in the late 19th century. Its vibrant colors bring life to this significant historical event, reminding us of the sacrifices made by these politicians who fought tirelessly for Italian unification. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder that through determination and collaboration, nations can overcome obstacles to achieve greatness.
