100 Posters That Changed the World

3.7/5 ( ratings)

A visual history of poster design, from anti-slave campaigns and Harper’s to PETA and Extinction Rebellion.

This wide-ranging collection charts the evolution of poster design, from the time when paper was first affordable in the 18th century, through developments in print technology, to the more subtle visual communication of the 21st century.

Along the way, it showcases the most impactful designs of the last 300 years, telling the story of how the art form took off in the late 19th century with the introduction of litho printing and the influence of Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec and Alphonse Mucha. Featured posters range from events, auctions, public meetings, political rallies, public health emergencies and theatrical performances. Some convey political
messages, such as the iconic Keep Calm and Carry On poster produced at the dawn of the Second World War. Others advertise the latest must-see films, including classic designs for ET and Jaws.
