Giuseppe Garibaldi, Italian patriot, c1864
Giuseppe Garibaldi, Italian patriot, c1864. Garibaldi (1807-1882) was involved in the Young Italy movement and after a failed uprising in Piedmont in 1834 he fled first to France and from there to South America, where he learned techniques of guerrilla warfare. He returned to Italy in 1848 at the head of a band of Red Shirts, fighting against the Austrians and French in Italys wars of independence, during which he became a popular hero. In 1860 Garibaldi invaded Sicily at the head of a force of 1000 men, which had increased to 30, 000 by the time he captured Naples. He then handed the territory he had captured in southern Italy over to Victor Emmanuel II, declaring him king of a united Italy. Cover of sheet music of c1864 when Garibaldi visited London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giuseppe Garibaldi, an Italian patriot who played a significant role in the country's fight for independence during the 19th century. The image captures Garibaldi's strong and determined presence, with his commanding body language and striking beard drawing attention. Dressed in a red shirt, symbolizing his allegiance to the cause of revolution and nationalism, Garibaldi embodies the spirit of patriotism. The sheet music cover from around 1864 commemorates Garibaldi's visit to London, highlighting his international recognition as a hero. The lithograph beautifully portrays him against a backdrop of vibrant colors, reflecting both his charismatic personality and Italy's struggle for freedom. Garibaldi's journey was marked by exile and guerrilla warfare training in South America before returning to Italy with a band of Red Shirts. His military prowess led him to successfully capture territories in southern Italy, ultimately paving the way for Victor Emmanuel II to become king of a united Italy. This print not only serves as a historical artifact but also represents the resilience and determination that defined Giuseppe Garibaldi throughout his life. It encapsulates an era when individuals like him fought passionately for their country's independence against powerful forces.
