New York and London: W. W. Norton & Company, 2001. Paperback. Very Good +. Illustrated. A profusely illustrated survey of posters from the French Revolution to the present.Posters are found in public places all over the world.

Over 450 posters are reproduced here, 250 in full color, selected for both their historical import and their beauty. Author Max Gallo's informative text recapitulates the social and political currents of the day and places each poster in its historical context. The book also includes an essay on the development of poster art by art critic Carlo Arturo Quintavelle. 200 color and 200 black-and-white illustrations.Paperback. Illustrated. Erratum ticket bound in at half title page. 335pp. Full refund if not satisfied.
