Olivetti Office Typewriter Poster
In 1908 Camillo Olivetti formed the Ing. C. Olivetti Company, and produced his first typewriter, the M1 in 1910. The machine was of original design, with legible characters, a standard keyboard, two-colour ribbon, decimal tabulator, and back spacer. It was exhibited at the World Fair in Turin a year later and the Olivetti Company won an order to supply 100 typewriters to the Italian Navy.
