DESIGNER UNKNOWN FÜR DIE GANZE LEVANTE / "ADRIATICA." Circa 1938. 39 1/2x27 1/2 inches, 100 1/4x70 cm. Instituo Italiano d'Arti Grafiche, Bergamo. Condition A: minor restoration at edges. A ship is set out on a course cleverly depicted as across the horizon and around the globe. Her route is a line of flags comprising countries along the coast of the Adriatic Sea and the Mediterranean. Based in Venice and accessing "all of the eastern Mediterranean," here the Adriatica line uses singularly Cassandre-esque graphic design to promote itself. This is the German version.
