EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a historic poster advertising the renowned Corriere della Sera newspaper, printed in Milan back in 1898. Created by the talented artist Adolfo Hohenstein, this colourful lithograph is a true testament to his artistic genius. The poster itself depicts an enchanting scene with various elements symbolizing the essence of news delivery. A lantern illuminates the night sky as a messenger donning Mercury's winged helmet rushes forward, bearing important tidings. The evening post is beautifully represented by a stack of newspapers held firmly in his hand. Hohenstein's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the viewer's attention and curiosity. The composition exudes energy and urgency, inviting passersby to engage with the latest updates from around the world. This rare gem from an esteemed private collection offers us a glimpse into Milan's rich cultural history and its thriving newspaper industry during that era. It serves as a reminder of how communication has evolved over time while highlighting the enduring significance of reliable journalism. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry captured through Barbara Singer's lens, we are transported back to an era where newspapers were not just sources of information but also symbols of progress and enlightenment.
