1950s

The 1950s were a high point for commercial printing, when lithography had been refined over decades and the postwar economy was flooding studios with work. Designers in Europe and America were producing travel, advertising, and entertainment imagery at a pace that pushed the craft forward quickly. The result was a decade with a distinctive visual confidence, bold color and clean line, that still reads clearly today. The pieces shown here are period originals from that moment.
