Donation of an advertising poster by the company Coma-Cros to the Museum

In January of last year, the Museum of Badalona received a large-format lithographic poster (210 x 78 cm) from the Coma-Cros Raventós family. It was an advertising the chemical factory and for the Amadeo Cros season ticket. .

The poster, signed by Antoni Utrillo and Agapit Vallmitjana and printed by the lithography workshop of Antoni Utrillo himself, seems to have been made around 1900 since the same drawing is used in a publication / newsletter of the company on whose first issue is from 1900.

Due to the characteristics of the paper, its state of preservation was not good and, so during the year 2020, it has been possible to proceed with the restoration and consolidation of this magnificent and unknown poster.

A piece already incorporated in the Museum’s inventories, where it is kept with the other large-format poster that is preserved, that of Ramon Casas advertising Anís del Mono.
