I have always liked art deco posters. Here is another collection. Bob Saake has the most amazing set of advertising posters made between 1930-1960 in France, Italy, Germany and Great Britain that use illustration to full effect.
He says on his site: “Throughout my life I've been mesmerized by posters -- particularly those created by the Europeans of the mid-20th Century. These bold, graphic and inventive posters continue to captivate contemporary illustrators, and while many of us have liberally taken inspiration from iconic poster graphics, they pale in comparison to those created from 1930-1960 in France, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, and virtually every country on the European continent.”
You can browse his collection and he does not appear to be selling anything, just sharing his passion. Thanks to the IF team for this.
This is a great collection of posters. Thanks for the link, Bill.
