The Poster: an illustrated monthly chronicle, or simply The Poster, was a monthly magazine published in London from June 1898 to December 1900, dedicated to the then relatively new art of the pictorial poster. It was the first periodical devoted to the poster to be published in Britain.[2] It was published by Ransom, Woestyn & Co.[3]
Content
[edit | edit source]The Poster contained sections on posters, advertising, and a segment dedicated to collectors and collecting. Illustrations were featured in both black and white and color.[3] It focused on unique poster designs and their creators such as the Beggarstaffs and Toulouse-Lautrec. They were featured multiple times throughout The Poster's runtime along with interviews from designers such as John Hassall and W.S. Rogers.[4]
