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.

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.
