The International Poster Gallery is based in Boston and houses thousands of original posters dating back to the 1800’s that are available for purchase. A little interesting fact about the birth of the poster: Jules Cheret (illustrator of the bottom right hand poster) invented the three stone lithographic press which allowed artists to achieve any colour under the rainbow as well as transparencies and nuances that were impossible in other forms of printing, elevating the poster to Fine Art standards. When the office wins the lottery this Friday I think I’ll buy one, but until then it’s a great source for inspiration.
