Argomenti legalitari elettorali

Argomenti legalitari elettorali is a China ink original drawing on paper, realized by Filiberto Scarpelli (Naples, 1870 - Rome, 1933).

Hand-signed by the artist in black ink and with the drawing of two shoes as the surname of the author suggests in Italian language.

A beautiful and interesting satirical drawing, showing on the blackboard the perfect politic program made of pure socialist populism (as the symbols of the sickle and hammer suggest on the door behind the public around the table).

A rapid drawing published on the Italian satiric review L'Asino  in its XIII years, n. 10.6.03.

L'Asino , born in 1892, became a newspaper clearly against Mussolini's dictatorship, a nd for this reason was forced to suspend the publications in the spring of 1925, after a long series of threats, persecutions and interventions of the fascist gangs in the newsroom.

In excellent conditions, except for a usual yellowing of the paper and some signs of the time (minor stains).
