About the Item

Original vintage poster: Paglieri dai fiori le Cipri i Profumi. Italian artist: Gino Boccasile (1901 - 1952). Size: 13.25" x 19". Archival linen backed authentic Italian poster in mint condition; ready to frame. Linen backed, Small format 'dai fiori le cirrie i profumi PAGLIERI dai fiori le Cipri i Profumi' . This image features Boccasile's woman topless. The image was changed on large format to have her top covered in matching flowers. I presume that the post-World War 2 Italians had a hard time dealing with such a revealing image. Created to advertise a heady, floral perfume, this sensuous design proved too scandalous for civilized society -- her breasts were ultimately covered by a sheer bandeau top, and then again by a garland of flowers. This is the smallest, in-store display version of the uncensored poster. Gino Boccasile: During WWII and after the war, most of Boccasiles' works were done in 'offset' typography. After the war, Boccasile set up his own agency, which he was quite prolific with. His wife was his inspiration in many of the posters he created. Gino Boccasile died in Milano at the age of only 51.
