Bringing together over 400 color reproductions, A Century of Posters represents a pictorial record of the development of poster art and graphic design during the years 1880 to 1980. Selected by Martijn F. Le Coultre from his own private collection, the posters are supported by a fascinating introduction by Alston W. Purvis, Director of the Visual Arts Division at Boston University, which examines the history of poster design in the international arena. Including a wealth of well-known and iconic images and representing work by figures such as Jules Cheret, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Jan Tschichold, Paul Rand, Saul Bass, Victor Koretsky, Yusaku Kamekura, and Jean Effel, A Century of Posters is essential reading for all those interested in the development of poster art.[less]
