"Manufacture of Silicates" magnetic bookmark

11.7 x 4.3 cm

Around 1900 there was a large production of posters, which became a flashy trend, popular in specialised publications and an object of international collecting. M. Fuster. Manufacture of Silicates (1898) was produced by Ramón Casas and Litografía Utrillo & Rialp (Barcelona). The conventional style and the chosen graphics give the poster an antique air, which breaks with the unusual landscape format that Casas had to use to show the outstanding size of the factory, suggesting its production capacity.  This schematic landscape is reproduced in this magnetic bookmark with which you can easily return to the place where you interrupted a reading.
