What it is
Plate 72 of the second volume of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, the Paris monthly that reprinted the posters of the day at small size; it reproduces a design by the Roman poster artist Giovanni Maria Mataloni.
Why it matters
The series admitted few Italians, and Mataloni's plate placed the Roman poster beside the Paris masters.
What to notice
The plate keeps the series' margin, the mark of a Maîtres sheet.
Italy, admitted to the Paris canon.
