Title: Anisetta Evangelisti Drunken Monkey
Artist: Biscaretti
Year: 1925
Size: 55 x 39 1/2 inches (140 x 99 1/2 cm)
Reference Number: 2256
Description: What can you say about a drunken monkey? Especially if the simian in question is getting looped on an anis-flavored liqueur. I mean, if it was banana-infused, well then that would be understandable. He certainly seems to be enjoying it, though. And the peculiarity of the image is precisely what the Evangelisti firm was banking on to get their dessert tipple firmly lodged in the viewer's mind. A founder of the Museo dell'Automobile in Torino, Biscaretti was an industrial designer who produced only a handful of posters, most of them for the automotive industry between 1920 and 1930.

Title: Mele Department Store
Artist: Unknown
Year: 1899
Size: 45 1/2 x 78 1/2 inches (115 x 200 cm)
Reference Number: 1412
Description: In 1875, brothers Emiddio and Alfredo Mele opened a small clothing store in Naples. With hard work and a policy of selling practical clothes at reasonable prices, their enterprise prospered, and in 1889 they opened a huge blockwide emporium patterned after American department stores. In their quest to make the average Neapolitan citizen fashion-conscious, they launched an all-out publicity campaign that was centered on the most effective medium of communication at the time—the poster. They secured the services of the finest Italian printing and lithography shop, Ricordi of Milan, which attracted their attention after scoring spectacularly well at the first International Poster Biennale in Venice in 1895. Starting the following year, Ricordi printed virtually all Mele posters for the next two decades. The elegant people who inhabit all Mele posters, with their seductive looks, well-matched, delicately colored outfits and overall poise normally associated with the upper class, became the role models of a new bourgeois awareness. Placed carefully in suitable ambiances—the salon, the terrazzo, the exquisitely maintained garden, the yacht or country club—these figures convinced the ordinary Italian housewife that she, too, can enjoy the good life, starting at the very least with the latest fashions from Mele. Unfortunately, Italy was among the most negligent countries when it comes to preserving poster art, and the Mele oeuvre, so important in channeling Italian popular tastes toward appreciation of fashions, is today unbelievably rare.
