Cappiello Mele Napoli 1903

Cappiello Mele Napoli 1903

Leonetto Cappiello1903

A man in tails and a top hat leans in with his face creased in pleasure, and the woman in the red dress turns towards him.

Leonetto Cappiello (1875 to 1942), a Livorno native who worked in Paris from 1898, designed the poster in 1903 for E. & A. Mele. Mele was a department store in Naples. Ricordi, the Milan music publisher and lithographer, produced most of its advertising.

Cappiello contributed several designs to the Mele series.

On the poster

A woman in a floor-length red patterned dress, a grey fur stole over both shoulders and a green-feathered hat, turns towards a smiling man in a black tailcoat, top hat and white tie. He holds a cane. The ground is saturated forest-green. Bold yellow display lettering above reads "Novità per Signora" (New for ladies), and the large store logotype below reads "E. & A. MELE & Ci.

NAPOLI".

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.

Paper and print details

Good art deserves good paper.

Each poster is printed to order using professional giclée printing techniques and archival pigment inks on 200gsm enhanced matte fine art paper.

The natural white, smooth matte finish reduces glare while bringing out rich colours and crisp detail. The inks are designed for excellent lightfastness, helping the artwork retain its colour for years to come.
