16 poster-size and removable reproductions of the Nebiolo foundry’s glorious promotions, created in letterpress’ heyday. With type rippling across ribbons, stacked in stately friezes or clustered in decorative vignettes, the 16 designs here celebrate the bygone artistry of the industrial era. Their large-format pages entice with resplendent inks, wide-ranging typefaces and charming ornaments, such as manicules, silhouettes and floral borders.In the 1800s, technological innovations allowed for a creative flourishing in print, and letterpress practitioners produced extravagant materials to showcase their craft. On view in 'Artistic Printing Creative Papers' is a selection from two such dazzling promotions, issued by the famed Italian foundry Nebiolo at the end of the 19th century. Printed on oversize sheets, the perforated pages are removable, allowing readers to use them as gift wrap, crafting supplies, decor and more.
