EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Revolution in Sicily, Volunteers on Board the Washington proceeding to Palermo" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Thomas Nast and published in The Illustrated London News on July 7,1860, this artwork captures the essence of the Italian unification movement. In this scene, we witness a group of brave volunteers aboard the ship Washington as it sets sail towards Palermo. Led by Captain de Rohan and Captain Peard, these courageous individuals are part of an expeditionary force determined to support the revolutionaries fighting for freedom and unity in Sicily. The image showcases both military and maritime elements, symbolizing the convergence of strength and determination required for such a monumental undertaking. As they embark on their journey under an Italian flag fluttering proudly above them, these volunteers become integral players in Garibaldi's mission to unify Italy. This engraving not only highlights the significance of European solidarity during that era but also emphasizes how ordinary individuals can contribute to extraordinary historical events. It serves as a reminder that revolutions are often fueled by passionate people who believe in change and are willing to fight for it. Preserved within private collections today, this print continues to inspire viewers with its depiction of bravery and determination amidst turbulent times.
