Lot #81: Rare 1916 Italian Touring Club Framed Art Nouveau Advertising Print

A striking piece of early 20th-century Italian graphic design, this beautifully framed image reproduces the May 1916 cover of Rivista Mensile del Touring Club Italiano—a wonderfully evocative example of the elegant Art Nouveau aesthetic of the period. The composition features a graceful woman surrounded by cascading purple blossoms, paired with the beautifully decorative typography and illustrated borders characteristic of European advertising and magazine design from the 1910s. The lower portion prominently features the period advertisement for Profumi Bertelli, adding another layer of vintage Italian commercial history and visual appeal. Presented beneath a warm cream mat and housed in a handsome textured wood-tone frame, the piece has a sophisticated, old-world presence that works exceptionally well in a study, library, wine room, restaurant, boutique, or European-inspired interior. What makes this piece especially appealing is the combination of Italian motoring history, vintage advertising, fashion, travel culture, and Art Nouveau design in a single display-worthy work. A distinctive decorative piece for the collector of Italian memorabilia, early automobile history, vintage advertising, Art Nouveau imagery, or antique-style wall décor. Dated May 1916 — over a century of Italian style and history beautifully captured in one framed presentation. Please review photographs carefully for condition and framing details. Sold as a vintage framed decorative print/reproduction unless otherwise authenticated. Dimensions: 16”W x 20”H Pickup category timeslot {A}
