ALVINO FRANCESCO. VIAGGIO DA NAPOLI A CASTELLAMMARE. Napoli 1845

In 8
Original editorial paperback. Complete
Volume in perfect condition.

The book by virtue of its uniqueness, being in its fragile editorial paperback (no other copies with the same peculiarities have been auctioned off), was detached on page 116, resulting in it being divided in half, but it is easily repairable.
42 out of text plates etched by Achille Gigante and Gustavo Witting

Rare original edition, with the very rich iconographic apparatus by the painters Achille Gigante and Gustavo Witting.
A work that had considerable success, especially among the travelers of the Grand Tour who visited Naples and Castellammare at the time, such as Goethe, Scott, Ruskin, Dumas and Flaubert.
