Description

Mario Borgoni (1869–1936) – National Hotel, Cairo. 1905. Printed by Richter, Naples. 146 × 106 cm. Original poster, lithograph, mounted on canvas. Condition A-, very slight traces of original creases. This spectacular Orientalist poster depicts a sunset over the pyramids of Egypt, whilst an explorer on his dromedary (or camel...) looks directly at the viewer in the foreground. Unusually in the world of posters, it is not the hotel – despite it being a luxury establishment – that is highlighted in the image, but rather an evocation of travel, discovery and archaeological splendours.
