{"product_id":"august-rr-donnelley-chica","title":"August Calendar, R.R. Donnelley \u0026 Sons","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis promotional calendar page from R.R. Donnelley \u0026amp; Sons captures the dynamism of polo at its American peak. Artist Harry Cimino employs a masterfully restrained palette of black, vermillion, and tan to create a composition of remarkable visual impact, with two riders thundering across the field in pursuit of the ball. The foreground player in brilliant red, mallet raised for the strike, creates a focal point that draws the eye through the dramatic diagonal composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece serves double duty as both functional calendar and advertisement, showcasing the Chicago printer's capabilities in bold blackletter typography and precise color registration. The Gothic company name establishes R.R. Donnelley's heritage as 'Designers, Engravers, Printers, Binders,' while decorative polo mallet emblems mark dates throughout the month. This synthesis of commercial purpose and artistic achievement exemplifies the golden age of American promotional printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of American commercial art, sporting imagery, or Chicago printing history, this calendar demonstrates why R.R. Donnelley became one of America's most respected printing houses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.5\" x 21.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harry Cimino\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
