F.P. Inc ‘Il Caccia - Mole In Carnevale’ Print

Any thoughts on date of this print? Based on colors I assume it’s not original but I don’t know. I suppose it could be really faded. Couldn’t find mention of the framer which is Val Glare Studios on Linden Row in Richmond, VA. It does seem pretty old. F. Palizzi died in 1899 so it’s not out of the realm of possibility it was printed in his lifetime. Not sure what type of value it might have either way? The image is beautiful and disturbing at the same time. I imagine some dentist would enjoy owning it.

 

lovely !

real good old carneval amusement of a quack tearing out a tooth and shows half of a pig's jaw.

 

Pretty funny...I'm pretty sure what he's holding is the jawbone of an ass.

 

the jawbone is connected to the .... ass bone.... that’s how the song went right?

 

Bumping this hoping someone might have insight into the age of FP Inc prints. Maybe a company started by the artist seeing as they share initials?

I'd guess Francesco Pisante.

Here's a listing for the book:

Wow! Amazing! How did you find this?!? I think it absolutely must have come from this book. Not sure what edition but this is fantastic!

 

if you'd have read the link I gave...

 

Yes I read the links you sent. Thanks again.

 

Ahhhh I see what I did. I did miss the source in the link you provided Fid. The link loaded weirdly on my phone and I thought it was all jumbo jumbo down that far. My bad there!!! You both are an immense help here! Now if someone with a good eye can make an educated guess on the paper age I would be cooking with fire. It looks like the book has been reprinted in high quality editions numerous times. There’s some nice editions from the 1950’s/60’s I just found.

 

Not well enough though!
