The pictures used are:
Chapter 1: The source for this image is unknown - if you recognize it, please let me know!
Chapter 2: "Route de Naples" by Vernet, circa 1820. About 30 years after the time of this story, but it is highwaymen in Naples, so close enough.
Chapter 3: "Jealousy" by Jules Davis, 1834 (I cropped out a third person coming through a door). A few decades later than our setting, and fashion probably did change a lot from pre-revolution to post, so not a great depiction. Meh.
Chapter 4: "Palais à Naples regardant le Soleil Levant" (Naples palace watching the sun rise), print by Johann Wilhelm Bauer, published in Amsterdam circa 1636. So a good 150 years too early for this story, but I would be willing to be it didn't change too much in that time.
Chapter 5: the Salone delle feste in Villa dei Mulini, Portoferraio by Derek91, used here under the Creative Commons Attribuzione 3.0 Unported license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.it). Finding an Italian palace's saloon was no easy task, at least for having to search in English on English search engines. And this one is on Elba, so not Naples, but it's as close as I can get.
Chapter 6: the Rosy Cross as used by Rosicrucianism, by RootOfAllLight
Chapter 7: copper plate etching of the botanical garden of Naples by Giuseppe Orlandini (a.k.a. Attilio Zuccagni-Orlandini), circa 1840.
Chapter 8: "Two gentlemen strolling and talking, circa 1800".
Chapter 9: "Boors drinking and smoking in an inn" by David Teniers the Younger, done in 1645.
Chapter 10: Washington's Courtship by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris. George married Martha in 1759, which is quite a bit earlier than the timeframe of this story, but George would have been dressing in the peak English fashion of the day, so it's at least some form of 18th century English style. And the setting in this picture, while obviously not southern Italy, is still in the right ballpark of look and feel for what we expect in this scene.
