Ecclesiastics, [Rome], 1850. Scene depicting members of the clergy: '...discussing in the Piazza di Campidaglio, on the morning of the 13th ult., the all-important topic of the reinstalment of their Sovereign-Pontiff in his temporal dominions on the preceding day [12 March]. The pleased looks of congratulation which their countenances exhibit, are pretty indicative of their satisfaction at the prospect of the restoration of the ecclesiastical regime'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
