When you hear the word "poster," do you think of that old Rick Springfield or Farrah Fawcett poster that was long ago relegated to the trash bin? The posters at Sarah Stocking are about as far from that as you can get.
Sarah Stocking has thousands of high-quality vintage posters from all over the world. The collection, collected over 20 years, includes not only French turn-of-the-century posters by "Belle Epoque" artist Jules Cheret and the "Art Nouveau" style of Mucha, but artwork covering subjects such as Travel, Food & Drink, Performing Arts, Products & Services, Propaganda, and Transportation.
All originals, most of the posters date to the early 1900's, although Sarah Stocking also carries original lithographs from the WWI and WWII eras, and a select number of modern posters.
If you're ever on the other coast, check out the International Poster Gallery. It's on Newbury Street in Boston.

Sarah Stocking is strong in decorative art posters, but not as much in historical documents.
I have left a number of notes expressing interest in purchasing World War one posters. Could you let me know if these are available.
Thanks
I've also seen a guy at the Alameda flea market who has hundreds of lithographed posters like these...printed on canvas mostly, and they're beautiful...he puts them in giant stacks, and it's fun to stand there and flip through them all.
Vintage Poster Art in Florida has a collection of WW1 posters, if there is still an interest.
Also a good collection of unique, original vintage posters. www.vintageposterart.com
