[Italian passport.] by Gargini, Gaicomo, & Signor Percy - 1843

1843. Folio broadside (approx. 12½" x 8½"), on thick, laid paper, with a vignette wood engraving at the top of a horse-driven carriage with a top-hatted, whip-wielding driver, the body of the document partly printed and accomplished in manuscript, one facilitator of the travel apparently being Giacomo Gargini, and the traveler himself being "Signor Percy," likely someone from the lineage of the Dukes of Northumberland, whose family name was Percy. It has been suggested to me that Giacomo Gargini was a restauranteur and hotelier in Genoa in the mid-nineteenth century. Locations listed on the passport include Geneva, Genoa, and Torino. Docketed by Gargini on the verso.
