One-Shot Wonders: Speaking of Easter Customs by Art Young, 1893
Here we have a back cover of the Chicago Inter-Ocean's Illustrated Supplement, the very first newspaper to print colour using high-speed presses.
This Art Young page is from the Easter number of the supplement, published April 2 1893, and offers up some interesting Easter customs from around the world. I had never heard of "matching" (upper right), but I think he's perhaps talking about the Bulgarian custom of tapping Easter eggs together until one cracks. I don't find a reference to this tradition being called "matching", though, so maybe I'm guessing wrong?

Hi Allan,
my name is Claudio Marchiori and I’m writing from Bordighera, Italy. I am the President of the Salone Internazionale dell’Umorismo and I am looking for info regarding Bill who won a prize in Bordighera in 1970. https://www.saloneumorismo.com/en/1970-23rd-edition-of-the-international-exhibition-of-humor
He designed the poster for the following year:

As I am writing a book on the Salone I am looking for info regarding those who won a prize and designed the poster. Unfortunately I could find very few info on him and I wonder if you could help me as it seems that you were in contact in 1917.
I appreciate any info you may share and look forward to your reply
All the best and greetings from Bordighera…
