California Beach
Posters provide some of the greatest cultural
documentation of the moods, the ins and outs of an
era in which they were created. Popular
promotional vehicles, the poster concept is not new.
For centuries, posters and papers have been posted
announcing some public event or notice. In the
United States, posters were once used to notify the
public that award was offered for the capture of
some person wanted for crimes. At the turn of the
20th century, front-men would go from town to town
with their posters to announce the arrival of a
circus. Those early efforts are not much different
from today's events promotions posters you'll find
in store windows and places the promotion person or
company can convince others to "post" for the
upcoming attraction, show, parade, festival or other
event. Below are a few of the may posters
we've received or collected at BEACHCALIFORNIA.COM.
