PRESS & RÉCLAME
Italian newspapers and magazines in the advertising postcards and posters from the end of the 19th Century to the Fifties

Work divided into two parts: in the first one, the introduction of communication from a cultural and historical point of view; in the second one, the reproduction of hundreds of advertising postcards and posters of newspapers and magazines from the end of the 19th Century to the Fifties of the 20th. Iconographic witnesses of the past, the waves and the evolution of graphic art and of the history of Italy too through the images created by authors among which artists of great interest stand out, recognisable thanks to their expressive language, style and graphic intuitions, next to less famous but certainly not less skilful names.

POSTCARDS A TO Z
Annotated lexicon
Preface by Gàbor Klaniczay

The 497 entries of this lexicon are certainly satisfactory for specialists and, in general, for those who wish to understand their passion as collectors or to turn their simple love for images into critical knowledge.

The character of lexicon, therefore a sort of encyclopaedia, of this volume aims at enlarging the horizon of interests that go beyond postcards themselves, towards those "visual studies" that are assimilating the History of Art inside a wider anthropological perspective.
Words such as "Collage", "Colonial", Documentary", "Woman", "Fascism", "Fragment", "Gruss", "War", "Posters", "Metaphor", "Politics", "Propaganda", "Advertising", "Regionalism", "Stereotype", "Style", "Dematerializing", "Variety" will open wider horizons on postcards as symbols of the so called post-modern condition, anchored to the concreteness of postcards themselves.

The work is completed by a bibliography of almost 800 titles that are an important work instrument.
