Condition A-: minor repaired tears and replaced losses in margins; minor staining in upper image. The bold lines and minimal colors of this poster advertising “Tourism in the Mediterranean” are reminiscent of the work of Giuseppe Riccobaldi, who designed several posters for Lloyd Triestino. Here, the artist encapsulates the local color and historical allure of Egypt through an interesting angle, and captures an Egyptian walking beside the Sphinx - presenting such monuments as a part of everyday life in the region.
