Original Vintage Posters for Sale - Printed Originals
Original vintage posters are among the most fascinating historical objects available to collectors today. Created decades — and in some cases more than a century — ago, these posters were produced for real-world use during their time and survived against the odds. Many of the pieces available today are between 80 and 130 years old, making them rare witnesses to social, cultural, and commercial history.
Unlike modern reproductions, original vintage posters were never meant to be preserved. They were created for short-term display in streets, theatres, stations, and public spaces, and most were discarded once their purpose was served. The few that remain today are therefore extremely scarce. Their survival is what gives them both historical importance and significant market value — our collection is 130 years old and up to £50k.
Original art posters from the late 19th and early 20th centuries reflect the world as it was: early travel routes, the rise of cinema and theatre, industrial exhibitions, political movements, and changing social trends. These posters are not simply visual objects — they are documents of their time. The typography, illustration styles, language, and printing methods all tell a story about the era in which they were created.
Collectors are drawn to original vintage posters not only for their age, but for their authenticity. Each poster is a genuine historical item, produced at a specific moment in time and shaped by the events and culture surrounding it. No two posters share the same journey through history. Some have passed through private collections for generations, others were rediscovered in archives, warehouses, or estate sales. Their past adds to their character and significance.
Original art posters are also valued by historians, museums, and institutions for research and exhibition. They provide insight into how people communicated before the digital age, how businesses advertised, and how societies presented ideas, destinations, and events to the public. They show how visual communication evolved long before screens, algorithms, or mass digital distribution.
At Printed Originals, the focus is exclusively on genuine historical posters — not new reproductions, not modern creations, and not items produced on demand. Every poster offered is an original piece created many decades ago, carefully sourced and preserved. These are rare collectibles with real history behind them, not mass-produced items.
Because of their age and rarity, original vintage posters often hold both cultural and financial value. Serious collectors view them as long-term assets, while others appreciate them as tangible connections to the past. Whether it is a Belle Époque advertisement, an early cinema announcement, or a pre-war travel poster, each one represents a moment that can never be recreated.
