"Manufacture of Silicates" pencil case

19 x 5.5 cm. Wood. Includes 12 colored pencils.

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 beautiful wooden case with coloured pencils, perfect for carrying in your bag or backpack or decorating your desk.
