Italian Postal Stamp of the Exposition of 1911, printed in color on thin paper. It features one of the most popular images of the Exposition, replicated in numberless sizes and formats (from stamps to postcards to posters): three muscular male nudes, holding the Italian flag and carrying symbols of medicine, agriculture and industry. The background shows a panoramic view of Turin, the river Po, and the Dome of the iconic Mole Antonelliana. The dedicatory language reads: "Turin April November 1911. International Exhibition of Industry and Labour for the Jubilee of the Proclamation of the Kingdom if Italy."
