    Adolfo Hohenstein (German/Italian, 1854–1928)
    Centenaire de la Découverte, 1898

    An original stone lithograph by Adolfo Hohenstein, issued as Plate 160 in Les Maîtres de l’Affiche, the celebrated monthly series published by Jules Chéret at Imprimerie Chaix, Paris, from 1895 to 1900. The series offered subscribers four numbered plates each month, reproducing the finest poster designs of the Belle Époque in reduced format.

    This design was created for the Milan publishing and music house G. Ricordi & C., marking the Centenary of the Discovery. Hohenstein, a leading figure of the Italian Art Nouveau movement, was central to Ricordi’s poster output. His elegant composition, fluid line, and distinctive decorative style make this plate a strong example of his work during his most influential period.

    Campari Poster by Adolfo Hohenstein (c. 1900) – Original Art Nouveau Design (known as “Liberty” in Italy)

    This original Campari poster, designed by Adolfo Hohenstein around 1900, is an example of Art Nouveau advertising. Measuring 39 x 78 inches, it depicts two gentlemen seated at a table enjoying Campari. The composition reflects the elegance of Italian café culture from the early 20th century, with Hohenstein’s signature use of flowing lines and atmospheric detail.

    Adolfo Hohenstein (1854–1928) was a German-Italian painter, illustrator, and graphic artist who played a major role in the development of early Italian poster design.

Hohenstein’s work is characterized by elegant figures, dynamic compositions, and rich decorative elements, all of which are present in this Campari design.
