Included on this page under various categories is a listing of the vintage poster collection in The Art-cade Gallery archives. Most posters here contain artwork by the premiere American illustrators of their day and represent the Golden Age of Illustration. Dating from the early part of the Twentieth Century these posters are in excellent condition. Some have been mounted on linen backing to preserve their integrity (which does not effect the collecting value of historic posters). No reproduction copies of posters are offered here.
Other movie or miscellaneous posters listed are also originals and in fine collectible condition. Those movie posters listed as “reprinted” were for the re-release of a particular film.
Images of various posters offered will appear from time to time in this Webportfolio. If you would like to see an image of a particular item, e-mail The Art-cade Gallery and we will send an electronic image to you by return e-mail as soon as possible.
