A Neapolitan programme printed in 1827 by Luigi Morghen and the Cuciniello e Bianchi lithography firm, describing a masquerade of Italy's four great poets performed at a ball given by the noble Academy of Ladies and Gentlemen for the royal family. Its hand-coloured plates show costumed figures in theatrical dress from medieval to Renaissance styles, with sumptuous fabrics, feathered caps and fur-trimmed mantles that a designer could draw on for period costume and festive pageant styling.
