Whether they feature the French cancan dancers or Sarah Bernhardt, the Michelin Man or Bugatti's black horse, posters are much more than just posters plastered on city walls: they reflect the fashions and concerns of a society. Advertisements for perfume or cigars, posters for exhibitions or shows... All rely on brilliant illustrators, capable of transforming a simple ad into a graphic masterpiece. This book captures all the magic of this unique art and gives pride of place to painters like Mucha and Toulouse-Lautrec, whose colorful posters have now become iconic.
