Soon after 1450 the first posters originated from leaflets. Until the 18th century, they were used mainly by showmen. With the advent of industry, the production of mass products and the emergence of competing companies, advertising has gained in importance and with it the advertising media. At first, products were simply presented and praised. At the same time, with the invention of lithography by Senefelder, there was an important further development of printing technology for our topic. Especially in Paris around 1890, posters were also given special prominence by striking advertising for the theater world. Toulouse-Lautrec's posters from this period can even be found in calendars of our day and are apparently bought with pleasure. Art Nouveau took over the poster world in a very sustainable way, as it did at the beginning of the 20th century, when posters made by artists became more and more important for their self-promotion. After the Second World War, a very distinctive poster art developed in the countries of Europe and in Japan. For the special stamp Europe, a subject was selected by alessandri-design for the exhibition "100 posters from Vienna" in the Ginza Graphic Gallery, Tokyo, one of the most famous graphic design galleries in the world, was made. The poster background makes waste paper.
