Ads - Part 59

Posters part 1

Today we start a mini-series on ads for products or events in the form of posters that feature nude males.  Above, the oldest one I have is an 1899 Italian poster by Marcello Dudovich advertising writing ink.

A 1900 Italian poster for Bianchi bicycles.

A 1900 poster by Adolfo Hohenstein for a Hygiene Exposition in Naples.

This 1907 poster is for a cycle and car exhibition in Milan.

And another auto exposition, this one in Turin in 1908.

A 1908 French poster advertising a publication called "Man and the Earth", one booklet per week.

A 1910 poster for the Hotel Bären (Bear Hotel) in Basel, Switzerland.

We end with an international exhibition in 1911 in Turin, Italy, featuring a couple of exhibitionists.

Next time: World War I posters.
