ITALY. 1935.
39 1/2x24 1/2 inches. Coen & Co., Milan.
Condition A: pinholes in corners.
Skiing, golf, tennis, hiking and boating are all represented by their equipment above a blue, green and gray Italian landscape, depicting the physical locales for these different sports, illustrating the printed claim that Italy is "the ideal land for all sports". Printed in Italian, German, French and English, this last is the rarest variant. Curiously, unlike any of his other Italian posters (including variants of this same image in other languages) Cassandre actually signs his full name. Cassandre 192 (var), Voyage p. 47 (var), Tourism 131 (var), Alps 10 (var).
