In the half century between 1890 and 1940, posters were an important and powerful form of advertising. The undisputed master of this medium, Leonetto Cappiello, is the subject of an incredible new book, which collects 534 of his works, luxuriously printed with all the brilliant color of the originals.

Among Cappiello's most sought-after posters has been the famous 1922 Contratto. We have acquired several pristine copies of the original 1922 printing backed on linen in two sizes: the regular 36" x 55" along with a handful of the very rare two-sheet size, measuring 55" x 78". Prices from dealers start at $3200 and $4300, respectively, and we've seen even higher figures at auction.
