GIUSEPPE RICCOBALDI (1887-1976) LLOYD TRIESTINO / M / S "VICTORIA." Circa 1931.

One of at least four posters Riccobaldi designed for the Lloyd Triestino's route from Europe to Egypt. The Victoria was launched in 1931 and was sunk by a British torpedo in 1942. Riccobaldi studied drawing, painting and set design. He supported himself selling illustrations to books and magazines, and ultimately began designing movie posters. From 1927 on, he mostly designed travel posters. This is the German version.
