Travel posters offer great accessibility to sceneries, landmarks, and above all, memories. They make a perfect memento to celebrate your journey and the experiences of your trip. 

Collecting Travel Poster Prints

How Travel Posters Started

Originally, travel posters were made for advertising purposes only. But, thanks to the ever-expanding world of art, we can now buy and collect travel posters and keep them in our safe space and humble abodes.

The creation of travel posters dates back to the 19th century when the use of high-speed color lithography by Jules Chéret was brought to the masses. This paved way for the application of art to industrial and commercial printing throughout Europe during the time. 

They were used to advertise everything from bicycles to absinthe.

To this day, we still use travel posters for advertisement, but with a fun twist. As expected of the ever-expanding world of art, travel posters have evolved and have now become collectibles, souvenirs, and vacation remembrances. 

Collecting Vintage Travel Posters

 Why Collect Travel Posters

There is no rocket science to finding a reason to collect travel posters. Truth be told, they offer so much to us than just a piece of print. They are more than that.

Travel posters, especially the retro and vintage style ones, remain a highly collectible niche of the antique market. They are a great investment because they are considered to be an appreciating asset. 

They are priced high and continue to appreciate because you are basically paying for the nostalgia of a certain era and for artistry. Collectors can choose from a vast range of designs promoting domestic or world travel.
