Description from the seller
Rare collection of satire and political newspapers collected in bound files from the period of 1848, titled "Il Lampione", a Florentine satirical newspaper for all, published on July 13, 1848, founded by Carlo Lorenzini, known as COLLODI, with other founders (Paolo Lorenzini, Pilade Tosi, Alessandro Ademollo), born during the First War of Independence, first and second series from 1848 to 1849, with articles and caricatures attributed to Collodi. Volumes of 100 numbers each from number 1 to number 200, complete. Publications were interrupted and suppressed by the Grand Ducal reaction in April 1849 after the 222nd issue and reopened in 1860. The conditions are acceptable with vintage spots and blooms of the era but probably to be bound again and restored, the 200 issues of 800 pages are intact.
