CHARLES HIATT PICTURE POSTERS. 1895.
9x6 inches. George Bell and Sons, London.
Condition A. Book, illustrated boards and over 100 black and white reproductions.
A fascinating book focusing on the early years of postermania aimed at people interested in starting to collect at the time. Featuring explanations of the history of the poster, the current state of the poster in Europe and America, and, perhaps most amusing, a final chapter on the prices of posters; "It is obviously impossible to state accurately the price of the artistic poster, insomuch as fluctuations take place almost daily, and, moreover, the numerous dealers vary in their quotations in an extraordinary degree" (p. 359).
