Lettering

Diversi gesti mutoloparlanti Napolitani ... Gatta 1828. Lettering continues: "Vomo, che indica col pollice all' indietro, dice (vedete tutta) questa gente, sono tutti della medesima qualità. Vomo coll'indice in alto dice una parola in grazia. Donna, che ragazzo con mani, si morde il dito all'orecchie, dice gesto di disperazione asino. Vomo col dito: sotto dell'occhio, dice ti conosco quanto sei furba e trista. Donna dice / Ladro. Vomo dice sei folle, matta, e forsennata."
