The art form of vintage posters dates back to France circa 1850 with the creation of color lithography printing. It allowed artists to print with vibrant colors, ushering in a new era. Once an artist created an image, it could be reproduced inexpensively, which allowed for posters to become the preferred method of advertising. This era in advertising would have made even Don Draper jealous! These “original” reproductions are no doubt found in factories and basements as leftovers, but time has elevated them and they are now considered fine art. They can be found in grand collections worldwide. 

Whether you have an interest in classic advertising, maps, history, or music, we are sure once you enter Hampton Framing you will find something you just have to have!
