Automobile Club de Milano, 1909 | Leopoldo Metlicovitz

This wonderful Poster was created by Leopoldo Metlicovitz promoting the Automobile Club Di Milano and the Inauguration of the new car showroom, cycle and similar exhibition, 5-15 June 1909. Leopoldo Metlicovitz was born in Trieste in 1868 to a family of Dalmatian origin, whose original surname was Metlicovich. He began working at a very young age for his father in the family firm that produces fine mechanical small parts. In 1882, employed as a lithographer at a printing shop in Udine, he was noticed by Giulio Ricordi, owner of the publishing house, who invited him to move to Milan. He was a celebrated painter, illustrator and was one of the founders of “Futurismo”, a twentieth century artistic movement. He developed an original approach to light and shadow and became one of Italy's greatest Poster artists creating some of the most famous designs that influenced design and art movements that developed in other, countries, particularly in Russia, France and USA. You and your guests will love the Italian charm of this historic poster. 

Each of our orders are printed individually on demand to ensure quality. Other listings will print your poster on cheap thin bond paper stock that will quickly fade. All our posters are printed on a thick, beautiful, professional matte lithography paper stock. Our studio also produces prints for artists, and this is the same stock that we use for them. We feel this paper just produces a superior image for all our clients. Once set under glass and in a frame, it looks even better.

This poster may have been digitally cleaned to remove perceived imperfections such as tape marks, creases, and paper tears that may have been part of the original scanned or photographed image. All prints are standard sizes and will fit in a standard sized frame. Prints are sent well protected in heavy tubing for shipping.
