Item Details
Description
DESIGNER UNKNOWN LAGO DI COMO. Circa 1900.
39x28 inches, 99x71 cm. Chiattone, Milan.
Condition A: small abrasions at edges.
Paddlewheel boats have operated on Lake Como since the 1820s. The Como went into service in 1874, officially designated as a Salon Paddle Steamer; it was demolished in 1953. Although this poster dates from the turn-of-the-century, it has a bold design and style that belies its early date. The image on this poster is still used today on the cover of the timetables for sailings by the Lariana Company on Lake Como. Clearly a popular image, several different variations have been printed over the years, with the ship always appearing more or less the same - the variations occur in the clouds, the water and the background.
