An original 1951 Italian advertising poster for the Perino brothers of Torino, purveyors of "uva speciale da tavola" (special table grapes), signed in the plate by the illustrator Gian Rosa. A woman in a red skirt sits enjoying a cluster of grapes beside an oversized, jewel-toned close-up of the fruit and trailing vine leaves. This colorful print is an outstanding example of mid-century Italian commercial art. The maker's mark of two rearing deer sits at the lower left.

Printed as a locandina (store-window poster) and bearing its original period authorization stamp (Autorizz. Questura Ravenna - Febbraio 1951), with the printer's imprint of Ind. Graf. Foschini, Massalombarda.

This is an original vintage advertisement, and not a reproduction.

It was custom framed in a dark textured wood frame with a deep forest-green mat and museum-quality glass, with virtually no glare, ready to hang.

A cheerful piece of Italian design history that suits a kitchen, wine room, bar, dining room, or just about anywhere else in one's home.

There is no damage to the frame or glass. The poster has minor discoloration and a few small foxing specks in the yellow margin consistent with its age (see the photos).
