Leonetto Cappiello (1875–1942) was an Italian-French poster artist, known as the "father of modern advertising." He revolutionized poster design with bold colors, simple imagery, and humor. His style focused on striking, central figures against solid backgrounds, making his posters eye-catching and memorable. Iconic Works:
Maurin Quina (1906) – A green devil with liqueur.
Bitter Campari (1921) – A vibrant, dynamic design.
Parapluie Revel (1922) – Figures with umbrellas, emphasizing style and reliability.
Cappiello created over 500 posters, shaping modern advertising and graphic design.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm. Note: This poster has damage at the top right corner.
These posters will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
