Physical description:
|
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 the Italian flag and carrying symbols of medicine, agriculture and industry. The background shows a panoramic view of Turin, the river Po, and the Dome of the iconic Mole Antonelliana. The dedicatory language reads: "Turin April November 1911. International Exhibition of Industry and Labour for the Jubilee of the Proclamation of the Kingdom if Italy."
The stamp was printed by Edmondo Chiappuis |
