|  Some History
on the Color Poster The history of posters can be traced as far back as the
15th century, when artisans handmade each and every sheet. While a painstaking
process indeed, it ushered in a new age of providing news, announcements,
and other information to passers-by on the streets.
For the most part, news and information was distributed to the populace
via the Town Crier . Town criers traversed the streets and
would stop at crossroads, announcing the orders and proclamations from
the King, the Church or the brotherhoods. They announced everything
from burials, goods, convocations, lost objects, and other items.
In 1539, the "poster" began to slowly but surely replace the town
criers. Jean-Michel Papillon was one of the first "poster artists" that
can be tracked via his signature.
In Paris of 1628, Théophraste Renaudot (a French Protestant
physician) created his "Bureau d'adresses". His company listed small
advertisements indexing suppliers and buyers of various products. In
1633, after several years of success, he printed loose sleeves reproducing
this information under the name of "Sheets of the Bureau d'adresses".
This represented the beginnings of the advertising poster.
In 1789, the French revolution caused a virtual explosion in the field
of communications. The French began to experience "Freedom of the Press",
and all of the newspapers began displaying printed advertisements.
The formidable industrial rise of the 19th century ushered in the
beginnings of mechanization, which opened a new area in publishing.
The greatest illustrators of the period, Grandville,
Raffet, Johannot, Gavarni, and Gilded partnered with the great writers,
Hugo, Sand, Dumas, Rabelais, Balzac.
