The nosy porter (colour litho)

Image description: The nosy porter. Invitiated against his doorkeeper who opened all the correspondence of the tenants of the house, a Roman professional sent himself a letter in which he had put a grain of rhodamine, a substance that exposed in the heat and in the cold it has the power to color everything nearby in red. The porter opened the envelope by placing it over a pot by the fire and it remained dyed scarlet from head to toe. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 2 March 1952.
