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.

Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph reproduces Jules Chéret’s celebrated poster for the Folies-Bergère, featuring the American dancer Loïe Fuller, whose revolutionary “serpentine dance” with colored lights and flowing silk fabric made her an international sensation in the 1890s.
Loïe Fuller transformed performance art through her innovative use of stage lighting, tinted gels, and swirling movement that turned her dances into living, luminous abstractions. At the Folies-Bergère she became one of the greatest stars of the Belle Époque, embodying both the glamour of Parisian nightlife and the experimental spirit of modern art. Chéret’s poster captures her radiant energy, with the dancer enveloped in cascading waves of fabric, illuminated by light effects that echo her pioneering stagecraft.
Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was among the first journals dedicated entirely to poster art, issued in small editions for collectors. Produced at the Chaix atelier under Chéret’s artistic supervision, each plate was a stone-lithograph reduction of a major affiche, printed on fine paper. These works, smaller than the street posters but identical in technique, gave collectors a way to preserve the finest poster art of the era.
