Leopoldo Metlicovitz
Italian, 1868-1944
Puccini's Tosca, 1900
Color lithographs on card stock and envelope
Selling the Opera: When Tosca, Giacomo Puccini's tragic tale of art, love, and murder in Rome during the Napoleonic wars, hit the stage in 1900, it was an international sensation. G. Ricordi and Company, who published the opera, made sure of that, organizing productions in Milan, London, and New York in quick succession. Ricordi controlled all marketing for the opera, employing Leopoldo Metlicovitz to create a consistent "look" for the opera. He designed the cover for the musical score, the poster for the first production, and even this set of postcards, with the poster design doubling as a protective envelope.

The main, round picture is actually a mosaic made from 26 single frames covering the whole visible firmament and shown as a fisheye projection. The center of the Milky Way in Namibia comes almost through the zenith and it's a remarkable experience to see that. From Carina to Cygnus. Small Magellan Cloud and even Saturn are also visible. Not to mention all the nebulas and a lot of airglow.
As the fisheye projection has the shape of a circle, the corners were all black in a square picture. So I filled them up with a combination of 2 different pictures also taken in Namibia. The dusty stars are from the neighborhood of the Barnard Galaxy and to boost up the roundness I mixed it with some star trails.
