This stamp was created by Adolfo De Karolis (or Carolis) and printed in color, on thin paper. It measures 3.5 x 5.5 cm. It features one of the most popular images of the Exposition, replicated in numberless sizes and formats (from stamps to postcards to posters): three muscular male nudes, holding a big Italian flag. The background shows a panoramic view of Turin, the river Po, and the Dome of the iconic Mole Antonelliana. The dedicatory language reads: "Torino Aprile Novembre 1911. Esposizione Internazionale delle Industrie e del Lavoro per il 50 Anniversario della Proclamazione del Regno d'Italia." It was printed by Edmondo Chiappuis. |
