Exploring the world of tin boxes - usually chromolithographed for
advertising purposes - is like taking a journey across the
universe, a journey to a different time and a boundless space, with
endless variety, applications, imagination and creativity. This
book traces the history of tin boxes in Italy from their origins to
their spread across the various industry sectors. We present a
selection of over 500 boxes produced between 1885 and the post-war
period. Alongside anonymous designers whose decorations draw on the
most diverse sources for inspiration and references, we find the
names of great poster artists such as Cappiello, Mauzan, Dudovich,
Golia and Sepo, who transpose their creations onto the surface of
tins, marking the early history of this style of product packaging.
Text in English and Italian.
