Cosulich Line – Klodic 1933 – Timetable Poster, – Rare Original Italian Lithograph
COSULICH LINE
Artist: Klodic
Date: 1933
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.
