The Big Book of Vintage Advertising Posters - Volume One: A Kindle Coffee Table Book

“Great advertising triggers an emotion in you. It has purpose. It touches a nerve, and that provokes a reaction." – David DrogaThis book is the first volume of a three-volume set of vintage advertising posters from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. These posters are representative of the Golden Age of poster production. There was a time when advertising was art. Before radio and television became the primary mediums for advertisers in the middle of the 20th century, posters dominated the advertising landscape around the world. Beautiful, hand-painted posters were created by some of the world’s most prominent artists – men like Alphonse Mucha and Jules Chéret mass-produced thousands of colorful posters inviting consumers to purchase a wide variety of goods and services, attend special events or travel to exotic locales. The images here are arranged in galleries which are preceded by an index with pertinent information about each poster and links where you can find further information. The poster images in this book are beautiful works of art. They are also glimpses of a vy gone era that have important historic value. I know many readers will enjoy viewing this collection!!!

I couldn't figure out this book until I read the words, coffee table book. This is a great conversation starter. The colors are vibrant and the subject matter close from page to page, chapter to chapter, section to section. If you throw a few get -to-gethers, this book will keep the conversation flowing.

How wonderful to see these posters and adverts again! Such stunning art to just vanish into the bins. Thanks for bringing it together into these books.

I Loved all the vintage posters, have not seen any of these before. I recommend this to anyone who loves vintage posters.

I loved what I could see. But it didn't all download and I don't know why. It's not my device, because it downloads similar files with no problems. If it ever decides that finish downloading, I will return and change this review. In the meantime I am not happy with it.

This is volume 1 of Vintage Advertising Posters and it contains lots of ads for things to drink such as chocolate and alcohol. It also has books, magazines, and live show ads plus many other interesting ads! Enjoyed soaking up this history.

For those interested in such things, the book contains a great international selection of advertising posters that displayed very nicely on my iPad.

This is a good grouping of period adverts and I am especially fond of Mucha and may use this art deco style to decorate our kitchen.

Have to admit I loved the photos of the old advertising posters. Excellent ;o))

Bellissimo ebook, una raccolta strepitosa di manifesti pubblicitari e locandine di fine Ottocento, primi Novecento. Per chi ama l'arte di quel periodo è uno spettacolo per gli occhi.
