Plate "Composition of American Posters" - Circa 1890

A spectacular composition of decorative characters in red, deep green, and gold highlights, where monumental capitals, sign-painting words, and arabesques intertwine. Each word becomes a graphic motif in its own right, in a spirit very close to the posters and advertisements of the late 19th century. Titled Zusammenstellung amerikanischer Plakatschriften, this lithograph brings together several lettering models intended for sign painters, graphic designers, illustrators, and collectors of vintage typography.
