AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and sought-after second illustrated edition with over 450 splendid wood engravings from the masterwork by Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873), modeled on the Quarantana, of which it largely reproduces the illustrations by Francesco Gonin, Luigi Bisi, Francesco Moja, Giuseppe Sogni, Luigi and Paolo Riccardi, Massimo d'Azeglio.
Some of the full-page figures, however, were replaced with new illustrations by Tranquillo Cremona and Luigi Borgomainerio, which “confer the notable merit of this edition, which is perhaps rarer than that of ’40” (Parenti, Rarities bibliografiche I, 176); Vismara, Manzoni 40.
