Brilliant blog post, I am very much into Art Nouveau with the likes of Alphonse Mucha and Toulouse Le Trec. It is great that these are now seen as fine art. I suppose some posters designed today can be seen as good pieces of graphic design and graphic art but not a patch on the posters designed then. Going back to that style I love the posters designed by George Ham during the 30s and 50s. I look forward to reading part II.

Older posters were a lot less vivid – guess its a combination of technology (more vivid inks) and marketing (knowing how to catch peoples attention). That poster ’sale of wife’ made me chuckle… I might mock one up, stick it in the living room and if the wife objects I’ll say I’m appreciating a nostalgic poster!

Are these original posters? What I like most about ancient posters are the designs. The design speaks for its meaning. I remember the old movies I’ve seen before with the wooden type “Murderer reward poster”. LOL
