Vintage Posters

Swann's yearly August poster auction is a strong and curated assemblage, honing in on War, Travel and Art Nouveau posters that are even more rare and desirable to acquire than in summers past. Collectors, enthusiasts and connoisseurs will be impressed by this year’s wide selection and quality of the posters presented.

Highlights from the auction include some of the most powerful and moving American and international propaganda from World War I and World War II. The section is also supported by iconic American posters such as James Montgomery Flagg’s two classics, I Want You and Wake Up America.
