The use of posters to advertise, communicate, and influence dates back to the 18th century. What were once everyday visual tools are now highly collectible and celebrated as artwork in their own right. With their bright colours, striking graphics, and period typography, vintage posters capture the spirit of the eras in which they were produced, offering a window into history and design.
The Vintage Poster Department at Fieldings is run by Harriet Moore, a specialist with extensive expertise, who provides guidance on the sale of travel posters, movie posters, propaganda and political posters, music and theatre posters, and advertising posters.
