About Vintage Political Posters

From simple 19th century woodcut broadsides to modern color lithographed 20th century pieces, posters have long been a staple of political campaigns around the world. In the U.S., posters for Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy are widely collected, while abroad, some of the most famous political posters feature leaders like Stalin and Mao.
