Description

This 1893 Italian maritime advertisement poster for Fratelli Gondrand, a shipping agency based in Milan, announces June departures from the port of Genova to Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, and Buenos Aires. A dramatic tall-masted sailing ship dominates the warm-toned center of the composition, surrounded by bold typographic listings of vessel names and sailing dates. Genova (Genoa), Italy's principal historic seaport on the Ligurian Sea, was the primary embarkation point for the wave of Italian emigration to South America during the late 19th century, making this poster a vivid artifact of that era.
