The print has been done for the weddng of two friends of mine, Lorena and Riccardo. Marriage, like life, is a journey toward our destiny. Those shoes were my first shoes, when I started to walk.
I'm intended to work again over this plate and add a mezzotint. I'll let you know. Just a matter of time, because work make me busy.

This was a session where she was learning about how to make soft ground etching.
Re Ferdinando II di Borbone (poco riconoscibile in questa ingenua acquaforte colorata della Biblioteca Nazionale di Napoli) sfila per il Largo di Palazzo, poi Piazza Plebiscito a Napoli, mentre la folla esulta. Non sa che poco dopo il re chiamerà la Santa Alleanza a reprimere quell'anelito di libertà, che nello stesso anno si consoliderà invece con lo Statuto Albertino a Torino. In ciò aprendo la strada alla successiva conquista piemontese del regno
A smooth piece of Verdite (sometimes referred to as African jade) with an etching of an antelope (I believe this is a Nyala based on the horn curvature). I purchased this off of eBay years ago. I know I have had it for at least 12 years as it was on my work desk in 2008, if not earlier.
I used Topaz Sharpen AI to Stabilize the image which minimized a very slight off-focus look of the overall image.
found today, it is signed below as jg ft 1828 so Initials JG and fecit (made ) 1828. Size is 16cm x 13.5, on the back is half of another engraving so the plate was presumibly cut down and reused. I love the subject matter and check out the little child drawing on the floor.
ps sorry I haven't been about, hoping to get more involved in a couple of weeks
