| Summary |
"Posters have always been used to seek an immediate response--designed to provoke a reaction, whether a public appeal, a legal threat, a call to arms, the offer of thrills, or to sell a product. Organized chronologically, 100 posters that changed the world charts the evolution of poster design from their earliest forms, through the glorious affiches of Belle Époque Paris to the more subtle visual communication of the 21st century. Stalinist rallying cries and anti-Trident missile posters sit alongside Keep Calm and Carry on and Rosie the Riveter in a collection of the most impactful, influential and reproduced poster designs of the last 300 years"--Back cover. |
