THE WORLD IN PRINTS: The History of Advertising Posters from the Late 19th Century to the 1940s

The illustrated poster is more than a printed sheet of paper glued to a wall. It's a fine art form and offers a mirror into society. This guide brings you some of the most beautiful iconic posters from La Belle Epoque of the late 1880s to the poster's "Golden Years" of the 1920s, through to the Cubist and Expressionist-infused 1930s and 1940s. Fully illustrated in color.
