Description
This is part of a larger collection of fifty posters produced for the Italian socialist party from 1892 to 1970. This is a poster made of white card - there is an image on the front. The image is an orange and beige/cream print with black illustrations. This shows someone drowing but we can only see their hands, they are in the air and have broken a stick. The bottom of the poster reads "1906 Partito Socialista Italiano Tessera Di Riconoscimento." This translates to 1906, Italian Socialist Party ID badge." This is promoting PSI membership.
