August 2015 NA RR - Katabexine, 1899

Circa 1899 art by Leonetto Cappiello. Katabexine, an effervescent tablet, was recommended for all types of cough as well as for bronchitis and asthma. The elegant drawing, with bright primary colors contrasted against a black background, contains elements of artist Cappiello's style that insured excellent visibility of his posters, even from a long distance, making them especially effective when mounted on exterior walls.
