EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Italy's unification. Giuseppe Garibaldi, a prominent Italian nationalist and military leader, can be seen assisting Victor Emmanuel II, the King of Sardinia-Piedmont and later the first King of Italy, as he puts on the symbolic boot of Italy. The image is derived from a wood engraving by John Tenniel, originally published in Punch magazine on 17 November 1860. The cartoon reflects the spirit of nationalism and nationhood that was sweeping across Italy during this time. It symbolizes unity and solidarity among Italians who were determined to break free from foreign rule and establish a unified Italian state. Giuseppe Garibaldi played an instrumental role in this process through his military campaigns known as "The Expedition of the Thousand". His efforts helped to liberate various regions in southern Italy from foreign control and paved the way for national unification under Victor Emmanuel II. This historic artwork not only commemorates these key figures but also serves as a testament to their dedication towards creating an independent Italy. It represents an important milestone in Italian history when different states came together to form one cohesive nation. The image resonates with pride, resilience, and determination - qualities that continue to define modern-day Italy.
