Plinio Codognato ( 1878- 1940) First edition lithographic poster. 1923. Cm 138x97. Stunning poster, here in the ante litteram version (the same version is preserved in Raccolta Salce Museum). The poster was actually designed thinking to a car competition; the Gran premio dEuropa that was held in Monzas circuit in 1923; a Fiat 805 actually won the Gran prix. This is undoubtly the highest poster work of Codognato who smashes the watcher with two superfast cars in first sight.

QUALITY: B+. Minimal tears, some light stains throughout, neverthless fresh colours. Linen-backed.
