American Poster Renaissance!

Location: Yonge and College /downtown Toronto Cash only; prices are firm. "The Golden Age of American poster design was brief but brilliant, calling on the talents of the best-known artists of the day. The heyday of the poster was the last decade of the 19th century, when the poster came into its own as the perfect advertising medium, touting plays, periodicals, patent medicines, and a vast array of newfangled manufactured goods from bicycles to dynamite. Here, for the first time, the American Poster artists and their work are brought together in a single lavishly illustrated volume... American Poster Renaissance offers a vivid look at this short-lived but vital phenomenon, and at the changes in art -- and in life style -- that it mirrored so perfectly. - American Poster Renaissance: The Great Age of Poster Design 1890-1900 - Victor Margolin Check out my other book posts as well!
