Le Vesuve et le Golfe de Naples poster, Italy – Borgino – 1925 – German
This is a reproduction of the German version of a vintage Italian travel poster that has been attributed to the Italian artist Mario Borgoni. In the poster’s superb image, Borgino has featured the awesome sight of Mount Vesuvius smoldering above the Gulf of Naples (also known as the Bay of Naples) on the plain of Campani in Southern Italy.
A funicular cable car was first opened on Mount Vesuvius in 1880. The funicular was destroyed and rebuilt following each of the volcano’s eruptions in 1906, 1929 and 1944.
The poster also features the world-famous volcano Mount Vesuvius, which is located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, about 9 km (5.6 mi) east of Naples. It is the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 that destroyed the Roman cities of Herculaneum, Oplontis, Stabiae, and of course, Pompei. It is now widely considered to be one of the most famous ruins in the world today.
Today Vesuvius is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of the population of over 3,000,000 people living near enough to be affected by an eruption, 600,000 of which are in the volcano’s danger zone.
Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.
The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £12. So you can bag a print and a frame for a great price.
