Collection: ORIGINAL VINTAGE VERTICAL POSTERS

The upright poster is the format most people picture when they hear the word “poster”, but within that simple shape there is an enormous range of proportions and international standards. Cinema one-sheets, exhibition posters, advertising and travel designs all use the vertical format differently.

This collection brings together original posters in portrait orientation across film, art, travel, sport, music and advertising. It is a visual grouping rather than a historical category, so exact dimensions, date, origin and condition are given on each individual listing.

Our poster sizes & formats guide explains the different standards you will encounter.
