Poster and book-cover design in The Modern Poster (1895)
The Falstaff opera poster
The large title occupies the upper portion of the sheet, while a reclining man with a jug fills the lower left. The performance information stands to the right of the figure. The book gives the credit as Mora da Hohenstein; the Italian Ministry of Culture’s catalogue distinguishes G. Mora’s execution from Adolf Hohenstein’s design.
