Callicida Escrivá. ca. 1910.
A small crowd stands in awe as a woman in a Victorian red dress scrawls in cursive with chalk. The product being advertised may come as some surprise: it's, of all things, a corn remover. Perhaps she is a school teacher who gets blisters on her hands from so much writing—or perhaps she is simply a model spokeswoman providing an elegant solution to a less than attractive problem. Oleguer Junyent was a jack of all creative trades: he was a painter, illustrator, set designer, interior designer, writer, and, of course, a posterist.
