A wonderful and fashionable vintage Art Nouveau advertising poster of the Neapolitan tailoring company "Mele" in excellent condition except for three visible abrasions of the paper on the right margin do not affect the image. This Modern and colorful poster shows the Metlicovitz's full mastery of the artistic medium, has the dignity of an object of art to collect and could be a sophisticated piece of your home furniture. Leopoldo Metlicovitz (Trieste, 1868 - Ponte Lambro, 1944) The Italian painter, illustrator, theatrical and advertising scenographer is considered one of the precursors of Futurism and, together with Leonetto Cappiello, Adolf Hohenstein, Giovanni Maria Mataloni and Marcello Dudovich, one of the fathers of modern Italian poster art. He began his artistic career at the age of fourteen working as an apprentice in a typography in Udine, where he learned the technique of lithography. Here he is noticed by Giulio Ricordi, owner of the namesake Officine Grafiche, who invites him to Milan to work as a lithographer. In 1892, after collaborating with Tensi, a photographic product company, he returned to Ricordi as technical director. At the same time, he entered the theatrical environment and began his career as a set designer and costume designer at La Scala. The Mele di Napoli tailoring company entrusted him with the task of advertising his clothes and in 1906, on the occasion of the great Universal Exposition in Milan, he won the competition for the fair poster, establishing himself also as a poster artist and then collaborating with several magazines as an illustrator. For Ricordi he takes care of the illustrations of calendars, opera librettos, postcards. Other famous images created by him are those for the poster of the film Cabiria, a blockbuster of the silent film scripted by Gabriele D'Annunzio, and the trademark that is still used today by the Brothers Branca Distilleries, producers of Fernet Branca...

The 1989 original poster Grand Prix de Paris Louis Vuitton Longchamp by the celebrated artist Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix Dénériaz) is an iconic example of his distinctive style. Created to promote the Grand Prix de Paris, a prestigious horse racing event held at Longchamp Racecourse on June 25, 1989, the poster reflects both the grandeur of the event and the luxury synonymous with its sponsor, Louis Vuitton. The poster’s design is minimalist yet impactful, focusing on a rear view of a British guard, dressed in traditional red ceremonial uniform with a tall bearskin hat adorned with a blue plume. The guard is standing at attention, gazing over the scenic racetrack, which stretches into the background with a prominent windmill, a symbol often associated with Longchamp. This deliberate compositional choice centers the guard as a dignified observer, adding a ceremonial and stately quality to the event. The use of the guard in this imagery reflects the participation of the Irish Guards' Band, who performed during the event, a fact noted in the inscription at the bottom of the poster. The reference to the British monarchy's Queen’s Irish Guards adds to the prestige and international appeal of the race. The elegance of the poster reflects the intersection of royal tradition, horse racing, and high fashion. Razzia’s artistic approach is known for its clean lines, bold compositions, and a blend of Art Deco influences. In this poster, the striking contrast between the vibrant red of the guard’s uniform...
