Early History of The Poster


Here is a link to Design History, a site giving a fantastic overview of the early history + development of poster art. This has a great timeline and you are able to see different movements, important artists, how the art form developed, and why.

Mucha, La Dame aux Camélias, 1896
The Mucha Foundation

Question:  Why would established fine artists employ the poster as a vehicle for their art? How does technological development affect an art form?
