What Is A Poster?
A poster print is a lithograph that is often done to commemorate an event or used as an advertisement. Old movie posters fall into this category. They have much appeal and are often used in decorating. The quality of paper used by the publisher varies from publishing house to publishing house. The same is true of the inks used in printing. They are an inexpensive way to decorate and the subject matter is limitless. It is not hard to find posters that have universal appeal. Many works by the “Old Masters” such as Monet, Manet, Renoir, Cassatt, O Keefe, and others are often printed as “posters”. They are open editions, although sometimes you will find one that has gone “out of print”.
