Press Redoubt 2
Eugeniusz Ludwik Dąbrowa-Dąbrowski
1908
This striking poster advertises the 'Reduta Prasy' (Press Ball), a charity event for Polish journalists held at the Old Theatre in 1911. Designed by Eugeniusz Ludwik Dąbrowa-Dąbrowski, it features a whimsical, mask-like face with a heart on its forehead, flanked by elaborate, swirling hair and rows of hearts containing bells. The bold, graphic style is a fantastic example of Polish Art Nouveau, blending folk art motifs with modern design to create an invitation that feels both festive and slightly mysterious. The text announces that entry was strictly by personal invitation, making this a ticket to an exclusive, high-society party!
