EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the caricature of Giuseppe Garibaldi, an Italian military leader and patriot, alongside King Vittorio Emmanuele II. The image is a satirical representation of the annexation of the two Sicilies by the king during the Italian unification movement known as Risorgimento. In this artwork, we see Garibaldi finally putting his right leg into a boot with assistance from King Vittorio Emmanuele II. Symbolically, this act represents their collaboration towards achieving independence for Italy. Garibaldi is famously recognized for leading the "Redshirts" a volunteer army that fought to liberate various regions in Italy from foreign rule. The composition exudes strength and determination as both men stand tall with their heads held high. The king wears a crown on his head while holding a sword, signifying his authority and leadership role in uniting Italy under one monarchy. This powerful image not only celebrates these historical figures but also serves as a reminder of their unwavering commitment to freedom and national unity. Preserved by Bridgeman Images from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this photograph offers us an intriguing glimpse into an important chapter in Italian history - one that forever shaped its identity as an independent nation.
