About the Item

Original Quale Capri? Original Italian vintage travel poster. Conservation archival linen backed in very good condition, ready to frame. Quale Capri? Is which Capri? in Italian. The image is the outline of the island of Capri, off the coast of Naples, Italy. The poster has two different sides, which Capri do you like or want? One side represents progress with large commercial skyscrapers and the other side the small homes and businesses on the island. The question is do you want to allow development on this beautiful Mediterranean island. Capri was first “discovered” by emperor Augustus in the early years of the Roman Empire. He often resided there and built many temples, villas and gardens as a way of having his own private paradise. The meaning of the name Capri can be traced to the ancient Greeks, where the ancient Greek word 'kapros' means 'wild boar'. The island of Capri has had dozens of famous vintage posters created for tourism. It also has it own perfume Cathusia Capri from an ancient formula. This is a unique travel poster for the development and or protection of this island. This is an Original Lithograph Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.

    Original poster: Wings Over America. Artist: Tom Woodburn. Archival linen backed in very good condition. Original fold marks touched up during linen backing. Ready to frame. (all U. S. Government World War II timeframe posters were folded and mailed out across the nation.). These original fold marks are not considered a flaw. The image on most monitors should render the true color of this poster with the ivory borders, brown feathers of the eagle, the red-orange of the text, and the center of the stars. The artwork was done in 1939 but the poster was officially printed in 1941. You can sense the speed of the aircraft in this image with the small white trails ¬¬¬¬off the wings and the contrast in size of the eagle in size to the planes. Tom Woodburn.
