    Description

    This 6-page exclusive, shows the 4-color printing plates proofing system - Yellow, Magenta (red), Cyan (blue) and black. (see photos).  The proof sheets are in excellent to mint condition.
    The proof sheets measure approximately 11 inches wide x 16 3/4 inches deep. This printing process pre-dates the digital era. In the 80's the printers made individual printing plates for each color. With the new era of Digital, the prior printing process of 4-color metal platemaking vanished. Printing today is purely high-tech.
    Provenance & Content Validation:
    My agency, Hank Forssberg Inc. Advertising handled the Advertising and Marketing for Ferrari North America from 1977 through 1995. During that 18-year relationship with Ferrari North America and Ferrari S.p.A., I accumulated an extensive collection of hundreds of Ferrari collectibles/memorabilia from Ferrari North
    America and from the Factory in Maranello.
    I personally recommended to Ferrari North America Management that they launch the introduction of the 348 Spider in Beverly Hills, California by closing off Rodeo Drive and having the first ever Ferrari Concours d’Elegance on Rodeo Drive as the highlight of the 348 Spider Introduction.
    My agency designed and produced all of the marketing and advertising materials for the 348 Spider Introduction including the Poster, Letterhead and Envelopes, Invitations, Event Program, Parking Passes, Windshield ID’s, VIP Wrist Bands, 348 Spider Spec. Sheets, Etc.
    During my 18-year relationship with Ferrari, I was also the Editor of Rosso Ferrari Magazine.  During my tenure, I edited and published 9 Issues from 1990 through 1993 including Issue number Eight – Ferrari Rodeo Drive. As the Editor of Rosso Ferrari Magazine, I commissioned Hector Luis Bergandi to create Ferrari Car Art Illustrations to be featured in Rosso Ferrari Issues.
    As a result of my relationship with Mr. Bergandi, I also commissioned him to design a poster the 348 Spider Rodeo Drive Introduction.
    This listing is only one item of my extensive Ferrari Collection.
    I am in the process of selling my Ferrari memorabilia collection and for the past 45 years or so, I have kept all my Ferrari collectibles in an Archival Storage environment in order to preserve as much of their original condition as possible. All of my Ferrari collectibles are originals and range in condition from good to excellent to original museum-quality. Thanks for viewing.
    Included with the 4-color press proof is a copy of the final proof sheet. (see photos).
