International Poster Gallery, Boston, Massachusetts

Due to the popularity of the large, colorful advertisement posters in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Italian publisher G. Ricordi & Co. published and sold the Ricordi Portfolio as a grouping of 70 lithographic prints that were smaller versions of the larger posters.

Overall very good condition and vibrant impressions; few minor spots and several light frame scuffs; not examined out of frames.
