One of 6 Lithographs from my personal collection. The publisher was Raimondo Petraroja who owned a bookstore and publishing company in Naples. His embossed publisher's stamp can be seen in the last photo. The lithograph is part of a folio called "History of Man" 1868. Actual printing was done with stone, a lithography technique invented in the early 1800's and used until replaced by steel later in the 1800's. The prints were handcolored. 10 1/2 W 15 in. H including margins
