Martini & Rossi Vermouth poster, originally sold in Italy, hails from the 1930s but was later officially printed by Martini around 1960. It is in superb condition, professionally mounted on linen to ensure museum-quality preservation. This official printing commemorates the earlier Martini posters and stands as a testament to the brand’s rich history and enduring appeal.
In 1863, the dynamic partnership of Martini’s entrepreneurial spirit and Rossi’s creative genius gave rise to a vermouth that has remained unparalleled for over 160 years: the iconic MARTINI Rosso. From the aromatic botanicals that define its renowned vermouth to the golden effervescence of the Asti wines, MARTINI’s influence has traversed continents and generations. Nevertheless, its core essence remains firmly anchored in the picturesque Piedmont region.

ONARANZE A VOLTA – ADOLFO HOHENSTEIN — RICORDI PORTFOLIO — c.1910
Lithographic plate reproducing the poster design Onaranze a Volta by Adolfo Hohenstein, issued as part of the well-known Ricordi Portfolio. This series presented a selection of important poster designs printed by the Ricordi publishing house during the height of the Italian poster movement between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The portfolio gathered together small-format reproductions of these works and was distributed internationally in the early twentieth century.
Casa Ricordi of Milan, originally a music publisher closely associated with the Italian opera world, developed a major lithographic printing workshop in the late nineteenth century. Through its printing department the firm produced posters for music, theatre, and commercial clients and became a central force in the development of the Italian poster. The artists working with Ricordi helped define the Italian version of Art Nouveau, often referred to as Stile Liberty.
Leopoldo Metlicovitz (1868–1944) was one of the principal designers associated with Ricordi. His posters and illustrations are recognized for their elegant compositions and refined color work, and he contributed numerous designs for theatre, publishing, and advertising.

Uncover a rare gem of advertising history with this original poster for ORELIA, an offshoot brand of the iconic Orangina, created and distributed by Orangina itself. Crafted in the 1980s, this poster is a testament to the imaginative design genius of Bernard Villemot.
ORELIA, the orange-flavored soft-drink, made its debut in the United States in 1978 under that name. However, in 1985, the name ORELIA was abandoned in favor of the original Orangina branding, adding an intriguing layer of historical significance to this artwork.
Measuring a substantial 33.5 x 24.5 inches, this offset lithograph on linen captures the essence of ORELIA’s unique identity. The brand’s connection to Orangina and its brief foray under the name ORELIA in the United States add to its intrigue. It represents a fascinating chapter in the world of beverages and advertising.
