 Original Vintage World War Posters 

The poster quickly rose in popularity when the “three stone lithographic process” was developed. This technique allowed artists to create incredibly colorful posters in an economical format. Starting in Paris in the 1870s, it became the primary means of mass communication across Europe and America. Artists were commissioned to design posters to promote everything from cigarettes, liqueurs, and upcoming shows, ushering in the modern age of advertising. Posters also served as a means of communication to the masses, including two World Wars. Many original posters have been destroyed over the years. Those that survived are not only sought after for their value as collectible art, but they vividly capture the art, culture, and sentiment of the period of time they were produced.
