COSULICH LINE
Artist: Klodic
Date: 1933
Original 1933 poster for the Cosulich Line, designed by Klodic and printed at Calcocromia, Novara. The poster served as a timetable of departures from Napoli and Palermo for routes to North and South America, issued before the company’s merger into Italia Flotte Riunite later in the 1930s.
The design includes depictions of both the Saturnia and Vulcania, two of the Cosulich Line’s principal transatlantic passenger ships of the period. An Italian tax stamp appears on the sheet, confirming official publication and circulation. The date 15 February 1933 is shown along with the Fascist-era date notation Anno XI, indicating the eleventh year of the Fascist calendar in use at the time.
This is a rare surviving example of an original Cosulich Line timetable poster from the early 1930s. Printed in Italy using lithography, it has been professionally mounted on linen and remains in excellent condition.
The Cosulich Line, founded in Trieste in 1903 by the Cosulich family, operated passenger and freight routes across the Adriatic and to the Americas. The company’s ships, including the Saturnia and Vulcania, were among the most advanced Italian liners of their time. In 1937, the Cosulich Line was absorbed into the newly consolidated Italia Flotte Riunite, forming part of Italy’s unified national shipping service.

Pastis Olive by Marc, c. 1930 – Original Stone Lithograph Poster
An original large-format poster for Pastis Olive, created around 1930 by the artist Marc and printed by Publi-Vente in Paris. Measuring an impressive 51 × 79 inches, this striking stone lithograph has been professionally mounted on linen and preserved in excellent “A” condition.
The composition highlights the French tradition of enjoying pastis, set against the lively backdrop of the Port of Marseille. Pastis, introduced in the late 1920s and legalized in 1932 after absinthe was banned, quickly became a symbol of Provençal culture. Advertising posters such as this were instrumental in promoting the drink across France, linking it to leisure, conviviality, and the sun-drenched Mediterranean lifestyle.
This poster is a rare surviving example of interwar French advertising art at monumental scale, combining strong design with cultural history.

Vintage poster Relax by René Gruau, created for the French shipping company Chargeurs Réunis. This edition is a second printing from the 1970s, mounted on linen and preserved in excellent condition.
René Gruau (1909–2004), born Count Renato Zavagli Ricciardelli della Caminate, was one of the most influential fashion illustrators of the 20th century. His bold lines and elegant compositions appeared in major fashion magazines and advertising campaigns for leading designers. Gruau’s imagery distilled style and sophistication into single striking forms, shaping the visual language of fashion illustration for decades.
Relax is an example of Gruau’s distinctive style applied to travel advertising, combining simplicity with a refined sense of elegance.
Venezia was issued by the Italian State Tourist Office (ENIT) circa 1950 and printed by Pizzi & Pizio, Milano–Roma. The composition uses the distinctive silhouette of a gondola’s prow (ferro) as a frame for a view of St. Mark’s Clock Tower (Torre dell’Orologio), with its bell and the bronze figures known as the “Moors.”
The poster was produced in offset lithography and reflects the mid-century ENIT approach of combining strong graphic shapes with a single, recognizable landmark to promote Italian destinations.
