Description
This portfolio collection is 1/4 of a larger collection of fifty posters produced for the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) from 1892 to 1970. This part consists of 12 posters produced for the PSI publication 'Avanti!' (meaning "Forward!" in English) between 1986 and 1905. This poster features an illustration of a woman holding a red flag which reads "Rome Avanti! Socialist newspaper!" A sash wrapped around the women's shoulders and trailing down towards the side of the poster reads: "In defense of work, justice, and freedom" Sucbscription prices to the newspaper are printed in the bottom right corner of the page and in the left hand corner are red carnations. The original design was likely made in the late 1890's and has been reproduced for this portfolio.
