A vintage poster is a collector’s work of art. The images displayed in the Original Vintage Posters are at least 50 years old and originated in Europe. Today, you can collect a vintage art poster or one on the subject of liquor, food, entertainment, travel, products, transportation, sports or War & Military. However, when these posters came into being, these were humble posters pasted all over the city or town square. These were the advertisers’ tool meant only for advertising a service or product. They were all thrown away after the task was done or the poster’s life was over. The vintage art posters and others gained in popularity because there were very few that survived after the initial work of advertising was over and done with.
Today, a vintage art poster’s price depends on the combination of the rarity of the poster, its condition, the artist that painted it and the quality of appeal in the image itself. However, the condition of the poster is an important factor besides the subject matter, the color scheme and the style of the artist. There are several vintage art posters such as 3 Femmes Pres Du Lac by Robbe going back to 1900 and Flirt Man and Woman at Desk by the same artist in the same year. This painting is vibrant and the 22.8”x 19.8” poster is a collector’s delight. The piece titled Children at Seaside by the same artist is again a beautiful piece. This was painted in 1905 and comes in a size measuring 28”x21”. Mention has to be made of Picasso’s Galerie Claude Bernard painted in 1971 and his Group in Nude dating back to 1991, a most striking composition.
