La "revue Illustrée" Traverse Le Monde, Affiche De Leonetto Cappiello (1906). 1906

This 1906 poster by Leonetto Cappiello advertises "La Revue Illustrée," a French illustrated magazine, depicting a stylized woman in a vibrant yellow dress holding a rod that pierces a globe. The dramatic use of bold colors and graphic lines, characteristic of Cappiello's style, effectively captures the magazine's global reach and appeal, while the woman's dynamic pose and the globe symbolize the publication's ability to transport readers around the world. This poster is a prime example of Art Nouveau, which emphasizes organic forms and decorative elements, and reflects the dynamism and innovation of early 20th-century design.
