Cappiello Cirio Tomatoes c.1923

Cappiello Cirio Tomatoes c.1923

Leonetto Cappiello1920s

The woman is climbing out of a tin of tomatoes. Leonetto Cappiello (1875 to 1942) designed this lithograph for the Italian canning company Cirio in the early 1920s, when he was working for the Paris publisher Devambez. Francesco Cirio founded the company in Turin in 1856, and its tinned fruit and vegetables were sold at home and abroad. The English-language text on this version shows it was made for export markets.

The V&A holds a copy dated 1923 (accession E.86-1973).

On the poster

A woman in a red-and-white candy-stripe skirt rises from an open tin of Cirio Peeled Tomatoes, holding up branches of plum tomatoes and green foliage against a deep, flat navy blue ground. A golden-ochre sash billows behind her. "Ask for CIRIO TOMATOES" runs across the top in bold white capitals, with "Finest Quality" and "Best Value" in the lower corners.

Our restoration process

History has wrinkles. We have standards.

A century or two can be unkind to a poster. Folds, tears, stains, fading and the occasional indignity of terrible storage.

Each print begins with historic artwork, carefully restored using the latest digital tools and restoration techniques. Damage is addressed, colours refined and details recovered, while respecting the original composition, lettering and character.

The result? All the charm of the original, without having to live with its unfortunate accidents.
