Carabinieri is an original lithograph by antonio zezon. Naples 1853. Interesting colored lithograph which describes some members of the "carabinieri a piedi": official in dress uniform - grenadier in dress uniform. In excellent condition, this print belongs to one of the most famous lithographic collections of the artist: the uniforms of the bourbon army and navy. On the bottom of the lithograph you find the title of the work " carabinieri a piedi - uffiziale in gran tenuta - granatiere in gran tenuta", alongside with the place and date to which it belongs "napoli, 1853", finally also the author of the lithograph "a. Zezon lit." and the draftsman "a.di lorenzo dis." from whom it was taken. Antonio zezon (1803-1881): after a working period at the ministry of war, he devoted himself to lithography and publishing. Little is know about his activity as a painter. In 1830 he participated in one of the exhibitions of the royal bourbon museum with a view of the courtyard of the church of santa chiara. He is remembered as a lithographer for: the biographical and lithographic collection of the most illustrious men of every age and nation, dedicated to the prince of salerno (naples 1835); the history of the kingdom of naples from the foundation of the monarchy to the xix century (1839); the pictorial museum of pictures of the royal galleries of europe (1840). Between 1850 and 1856, he created a work sold in installments on the uniforms of the bourbon army and navy. It had the lithographic plant in the royal palace in naples. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
