Phaidon Store is now selling a reprint of a classic and hard-to-find book originally published in 1971. History of the Poster/Geschichte des Plakates/Histoire de l’affiche was conceived, written and designed by Swiss master Josef Müller-Brockmann – one of the 20th century’s greatest graphic designers.
It offers a seminal study of the genealogy of the modern poster from the late 19th century to the 1970s and has been richly illustrated with an outstanding archive of 291 images selected by Müller-Brockmann, accompanied by his intriguing insights into composition, function and style.
What’s more, the re-print preserves the design, layout and concept of the landmark original edition.
