50 Beautiful Vintage Posters

July 03, 2009

GisMullr's blog

Wikipedia says that posters are any piece of printed paper designed to be attached to a wall or vertical surface. Very interesting concept! And what about vintage posters? I don't have the exact concept for it, but I would simply say that they are pure art. Vintage posters appeared around 1880 and developed it's style and fame during the following decade, until 1890, where vintage posters were already a hit. From 1906 on they were very appreciated and noted from every art lover. Since the 40's they are collections pieces and main subject of work for several galleries around the world.

Vintage posters are just beautiful! Even considering that they were designed years ago, we still think they are full of style and beauty. As I really like this kind of art I decided to make this selection to share with you some really beautiful vintage posters. You will see here several types of vintage posters, some ads, film posters, traveling publicity and so on. Hope you like them!!

The type on the Porsche Europa berg meister '66 poster has been set very nicely! Simple but very effective. It proves that clean simple designs with good typography really are the best (over ones which have been photoshopped to hell!)

Tem poster de várias épocas e países misturados.
Desde o francês Toulouse Lautres, do século 19 até design alemão da década de 60.
A informação merece ser mais bem tratada!
Dizer de onde vem, quem fez e para quê acrescenta muito valor ao que se mostra.

Oi, Tudo Bem?
Here's an extract from my undergraduate thesis about what a poster is: http://www.ww2poster.co.uk/research_project/ugrad/DissPosterPropaganda.htm, I wrote more for my PhD, but don't have that online (yet?!)! Love to see how much coverage posters are getting at the moment!!
