LOT 746Seller's Estimate: USD 12,000 - 15,000Artist: BOOKS AND PERIODICALS Size: 11 x 14 3/8 in./28 x 36.5 cm G. Ricordi, Milano Executed much in the manner of “Les Maitres de l'Affiche,” this rare and complete portfolio of 72 beautifully lithographed Ricordi posters reproduces the work of Italian master posterists in a more manageable size. Published with the same meticulous care and quality as the “Maitres” series – which in some respects make it even more rare and impressive seeing as it exhibits the work of a single publishing firm – the artists and works present in the portfolio are astounding: Cappiello (4 posters – a pair for Mele, Livorno, and the tremendous Musica e Musicisti), Hohenstein (10 posters, including Monaco, Germania, Monte Carlo, and Tosca), Metlicovitz (15, including Fleur de Mousse, Exposition Milan, and several Mele designs), Dudovich (7, with Mele being the primary representative), Franz Laskoff (10, including S. Petrus and Mele) and Mauzan (a pair of film posters). Other artists present in this prodigious assemblage include Achille Beltrame, Beltrami, Caldanzano, Cavaleri, Gallo, Adolfo de Karolis, Gian Malerba, Giovanni Mataloni, Aldo Mazza, Plinio Nomellini, Palanti, Enrico Sacchetti, Aleardo Terzi and Aleardo Villa. An absolute must-have for the Italian poster aficionado!!!Circa:ca. 1914Artist:BOOKS AND read more
