Poster Collectiing...

Poster Collecting started in the 1880's and became the rage in France and by 1895 French printers began selling directly to collectors. 2 Well known printers excelled in this, Champenois and Chaix. Jules Cheret was responsible for printing at Chaix where they printed the Maitres De L'Affiche and 4 plates were sent by post every month over a 5 year period to subscribers. Same was true for Champenois where the L'Estampe Moderne 4 plates were sent every month over a period of 2 years. The same famous artists who created our vintage posters of today also contributed to the Journals, magazine and Revues of the epoque. Well known artists like Jules Cheret, Marcello Dudovich, Alfons Mucha and many more created designs that only exist on those covers. Also pages from some of these Journals where the deigns only existed for these pages. To choose a Vintage Poster, browse our website at your leisure in the comfort of your home or office.
