Original printed wrappers (12.75 x 9.5 inches), [7] leaves printed rectos only. A lovely specimen of a display typeface. Despite its association with Lubrano, Saturnia does not seem to have left much of an obvious footprint; per the 31 December 1919 issue of the Milanese trade journal Giornale della libreria della tipografia e delle arti e industrie affini, Saturnia was a "collettiva (Alfredo e Gaetano Beolchi e Vincenzo Lubrano) fonderia caratteri da stampa ed ogni materiale tipografico di piombo, esercizio ed ampliamento azienda Vincento Lubrano. . . . durata nove anni, dal 29 Septembre scorso, prorogabile. Firmatari i signori Vincenzo Lubrano e Gaetano Beolchi." Whether Saturnia was something of a Neapolitan version of Nebiolo and Urania s efforts together as Societ� Augusta remains (to this cataloger at least) unclear. Not found on OCLC. Some light soiling, wear, and foxing, with some spotting to the wrappers; in very good condition. Seller Inventory # 21435
