This is an original vintage poster created in 1920 by the renowned designer Leonetto Cappiello.
Leonetto Cappiello (1875-1942) was an Italian poster artist who worked in Paris. He is known for modernizing advertising design for the 20th Century. His compositions are uncomplicated and often feature a graceful figure with an oversized rendition of the product against a simple color background. The typography is often minimalized to be as direct and short as possible. This innovation allowed for the advertising to be eye-catching and understood at a moments’ glance. It was ideal for the fast paced travel and attention of busy city life.
It is printed in a small format of 4.5” x 7” with English text using stone lithography.
It was intended to be used as a counter display in the United Kingdom.
The fine details of the artwork promote the umbrellas made in France b the Revel Company.
These umbrellas shield their owners from the worst downpours. It has been archivally mounted onto linen to preserve and protect the fragile paper of the poster.
It is in excellent condition (please note that standard excellent condition allows for very minor handling wear at edges).
