Original Vintage Posters- Small Format During World War I, the poster became an art form that could influence history. Prior to film and television, it was politically the most important of all visual media. It was easily produced, immediate in impact, and could be hung wherever there was a public to see it. Poster collecting began with the first distribution of posters that were sought out by art dealers who believed they could be sold to their customers. Few survived in their original state having been ripped off of the walls and often discarded. Vintage poster art is a wonderful and still quite reasonable way to collect beautiful, original art. The popularity of the antique images has grown enormously in the past 20 years and they are becoming increasingly rare.
