That should be the battle of Calatafimi: "Bixio, here either we make Italy or we die!"

It's a nice illustration from a child's book for the Battle of Calatafimi....but the eventual caption from the so called "hero"  should better read "Bixio, either the Neapolitan HQ had accepted the gold from British Massons and give up the fight or we die"

and er...Playboy.

Whilst it's not the traditional umpire's garb and those are quite unorthodox field placements, clearly Guiseppe was in no doubt that the batsman was out. Personally I think the flavour of modern game has been sadly lacking ever since they dispensed with mounted umpires and armed fieldsmen. Certainly their reintroduction would put 20/20 AKA hit and giggle in the shade.
