Collection: ORIGINAL VINTAGE 1920s POSTERS

Original posters from the 1920s survive from a world in which the poster was one of the most immediate forms of mass visual communication. Travel, entertainment, exhibitions and commercial advertising relied heavily on printed design, often using lithography and illustration to do the job now shared by countless other media.

Surviving examples can vary enormously in purpose, printing and condition, and age by itself is never the whole story. We describe each poster individually, including its date, format, condition and artist or printer information where known.

If you are considering an older poster for the first time, our condition & grading guide explains why signs of use can be perfectly normal on original material.
