Vintage posters are more than just a piece of paper, they are a window into the past. There have been several vintage poster sales that have fetched high prices, proving that these pieces of art still hold value.
The highest sale for a vintage poster was for the 1927 sci-fi classic movie Metropolis. It was designed by German artist Heinz Schulz-Neudamm.
In 2005 it was sold at auction for $690,000 – the highest price ever paid for a poster.
Many posters are valuable and priced accordingly. Have a look at this website and see the average price of some these posters..
These are average price for the rarity of these pieces.
So, why are vintage posters so valuable? For starters, they are often one-of-a-kind, meaning that they cannot be replicated. They are also pieces of history, offering a glimpse into the culture, values, and aesthetics of a particular time period.
Additionally, vintage posters are often considered works of art in their own right. Many of them were created by famous artists and designers, and were produced using high-quality materials and printing techniques.

Today is Sunday, so why don't we learn something about social rights?
I researched two significant movements in history that used vintage posters as a tool to bring attention to their cause:
- 'I Am a Man '
- The women's rights movement.
Let's dive in!
The "I Am a Man" movement emerged in Memphis, TN in 1968, with African American sanitation workers demanding better pay and safer working conditions. The workers marched with signs bearing the words "I Am a Man," asserting their humanity and dignity in the face of discrimination.
One iconic poster from the "I Am a Man" movement features the phrase "Honor King: End Racism!", symbolizing resistance and solidarity. The poster was created to promote a march that took place in Memphis in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. after his assassination. #MLK#Posters
I decided to take a short break from the Posters topic to write about something that I believe it's important to know.
This is in consideration of this recent #MemeCoinSeason , with our beloved #PEPE pumping.
Memecoins are an interesting trend that has been sweeping through the crypto-space. What started with Elon Musk’s tweets and Dogecoin hype has evolved into a dangerous development with countless tragedies caused by the greed-fueled desire to “get rich quick”
Here is why you should be wary of investing money into memecoins:
Memecoins are a type of cryptocurrency based on internet memes and have gained popularity due to their humorous and lighthearted nature. However, despite their playful appearance, investing in memecoins is risky.
Have you heard of the #Documerica project by the US Environmental Protection Agency (#EPA)? In the early 1970s, just after the birth of EPA and the environmental movement, the agency hired freelance photographers to record the state of the environment and efforts to improve it.
#Documerica ultimately collected tens of thousands of photos that serve as a visual baseline for comparing how our environment looked then with how it looks now and in the future. By 1974, Documerica had produced more than 81,000 photographs by more than 100 photographers.
Today we dive into one example of how a #poster can talk about social issues.
A thread:
In 1995, the Fourth World Conference on Women was held in Beijing. It was a historic event that brought together thousands of delegates from around the world to discuss gender equality and women’s rights. #Beijing95
The conference resulted in the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a visionary agenda for the empowerment of women. It set out measures for national and international action in 12 critical areas of concern. #BeijingPlatformforAction
Hello, posters lovers.
Today I want to talk a bit about the Belle Epoque, when modern posters originated.
The Belle Epoque, or “Beautiful Epoch,” was a period of French history that lasted from the late 19th century to the beginning of World War 1. This era was characterized by optimism, peace, and prosperity, and saw significant advancements in art, fashion, and technology.
One of the most notable artistic developments of the Belle Epoque was the rise of the fine-art advertising poster. During this time, several fine artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec were attracted to poster design
