The Macaroni Eaters : A Street scene in Naples. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, September 22nd, 1900," showing a Drawing by A. B. Salmon, from a photograph by Major J. Fortune Nott, showing "The Macaroni Eaters :  A Street Scene in Naples."

One of the Sights to be seen in Naples is the macaroni eaters.  These are men and boys who hang about or lie around the streetcooking spaces where the Neapolitan delicacy of the poorer slasses is perpetually being boiled or stewed.  Any chance passer-by who cares to expend a few coppers in treating the crowd hand it to the cooks.  They at once proceed to dole out platefuls of the stuff to some of the hungriest-looking boys near by, but on the word "macaroni" being shouted, a crowd quickly gathers.  A scramble for the hot and slippery food immediately ensues.  Handfuls of the hot macaroni are quickly seized from the plates, and attempts made to eat it in so rapid a mannerr, to prevent it being snatched away, that it seems extraordinary that fits of choking do not ensue.

Condition is Very Good.
