Garibaldi in England: Garibaldi in the balcony of the townhall of Newport, Isle of Wight, 1864. View of '...the scene in front of the Townhall at Newport, when Garibaldi dined there with the Mayor and a large party on Thursday week. Great preparations had been made by that little town to celebrate his visit with a display of banners and a triumphal arch on the road by which he entered. The sketch taken by our Artist at the moment when he showed himself on the balcony will perhaps give some notion of the unwonted state of tumultuous exultation into which the inhabitants of Newport were thrown'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
