EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph captures the essence of Garibaldi Day in Italy, as part of the iconic Holidays series by George S. Harris & Sons. Dating back to 1890, this stunning print showcases the rich heritage and cultural significance of this Italian celebration. In the foreground, an allegorical figure dressed in a traditional national costume stands proudly with a musical instrument in hand. The vivid colors and intricate details bring to life the festive atmosphere that surrounds Garibaldi Day. The woman's attire reflects the fashion trends of 19th century Italy, adding authenticity to this remarkable piece. The backdrop reveals a picturesque Italian landscape with rolling hills and charming villages, setting the scene for this joyous occasion. A sense of unity and patriotism is conveyed through various symbols scattered throughout the composition - from flags waving proudly in the distance to guns displayed prominently on either side. This collectible cigarette card not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into history, showcasing how art was used for commercial purposes during that era. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it reminds us of our shared human experiences across time and place. With its striking colors and attention to detail, this lithograph transports viewers back in time to experience Garibaldi Day firsthand – an ode to Italy's rich cultural heritage captured beautifully by George S. Harris & Sons.
