Description

Book Synopsis
Posters provide an instructive glimpse of an era's prevailing ideals, prejudices, and presumptions. This title suggests how a famous face can enhance the message of the poster and, conversely, how posters have defined and disseminated images of prominent Americans.

Trade Review

Informed by an informative, descriptive introduction and entries by curator Wendy Wick Reaves, the book is a compact historical survey of the medium from its earliest days.
