EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage 1882 engraving captures the essence of Palermo, Italy, in a fascinating and humorous way. The print showcases various aspects of the city and its people with witty captions that add an extra layer of charm. In the foreground, we see a Gendarme, representing law and order in Palermo. Behind him stands Excellenza, an Englishman who finds himself bewildered by how easily his nationality is recognized. This amusing encounter sets the tone for what lies ahead. The image then takes us on a visual journey through this village. We are introduced to different types of natives, each unique in their own way. A holiday costume adds vibrancy to the scene while a mountain road invites us to explore further. As we move towards Monreale, near Palermo, we discover cloisters and a sacred fountain. The jet spray from the spout creates an enchanting spectacle that transports us into another world altogether. The print also highlights cultural differences between Giovanni and Guiseppe's perception of strange fish-like Englishmen and John's opinion on rum-begging Italians. These contrasting views reflect the diversity found within this Italian settlement. Overall, this engraved image not only provides historical insight but also showcases illustrative techniques from Victorian times. Its retro-styled aesthetic adds nostalgia to any space it graces while offering glimpses into Palermo's rich arts and culture scene.
