Description from the seller
Lotto 31 original postcards by Domenico Mastroianni, Rome, “Cromogliptica” and the series “Allegoria”, circa 1918 – early 1920s, new and unused
Description
Unique lot of 31 illustrated postcards, all different, unused, taken from the sculptor Domenico Mastroianni’s (1876-1962) plastic reliefs, photographed and reproduced on postcard with a technique the artist called “Cromogliptica”. Roman production, datable to circa 1918 and the early 1920s.
Part 1: 19 postcards “Cromogliptica”

Marzi Roma”, “Edizione Propria”, number and title in Italian and French (for example “N. 3 Redente / Rachetées”), “Riproduzione interdetta”, “Stampate in Italia”. Back divided. The subjects are allegorical and patriotic, tied to the victory and the postwar period (e.g. “Il trionfo della pace”, “Redente”), with bilingual Italian-French titles.

On the back: “Vistarini - Mastroianni Editori Roma”, series number and bilingual title (e.g. “Allegoria N° 27, Amore di Pierrot / Pierrot amoureux”). Allegorical and theatrical subjects, with figures of Pierrot. Likely datable to the same period.
