By The Book Block

Posters The introduction of color lithography initiated a craze for poster collecting in Paris towards the end of the 19t​h​ century. Interest in posters was so great that posters were torn, usually after dark, from the ​hoardings​ where they hung for transport to homes where displayed. Interest in posters has never waned and remains high to this day. We offer a variety of books on posters including some of history’s most important.
