Collection: ORIGINAL VINTAGE PURPLE POSTERS

Colour is a perfectly good way to collect posters. A collection does not have to follow one artist, film genre or decade; sometimes the connection is simply that the pieces work brilliantly together on a wall.

This selection brings together original posters in which purple plays a significant part in the design, spanning film, travel, art, music, advertising, sport and other subjects. They are grouped visually rather than historically, so each individual listing gives the poster's actual date, format, origin and condition.
