Antique Vintage Poster and the artists:

The old antique posters were created by very talented and mostly famous artists.   Only the most talented artists were used to create the (antique) posters; printed one color at a time.    This printing process could take several weeks to a couple of months to print 1 run of a stone lithographed poster.   The earliest antique posters printed were known as ‘hand pulled stone lithographs’ prior to the invention of the electric motor.   Many of the great artists were drawn to this new form of printing color printing.    Jules Cheret, the father of the poster; Leonetto Cappiello, the master of modern advertising, Alphonse Mucha, the father of Art Nouveau, Adolphe Jean Marie Cassandre, master of art deco, Roger Broders, master of travel posters, Bob Peak, master of the modern movie poster, James Montgomery Flagg as the image of the United States as Uncles Sam.   Antique Vintage Posters allows most people to own artwork by some of the world’s greatest artists at affordable prices.   All posters prices are published and available on our website.
