the development of printing techniques that allowed for
cheap mass production and printing, including notably the
technique lithography which was invented in 1796 by the
German Alois Senefelder. The invention of lithography
was soon followed by chromolithography, which allowed
for mass editions of posters illustrated in vibrant colours
to be printed.

coloured posters were an easy way to sell their pictures.

Today, posters are produced for most major lms, and
the collecting of movie posters has become a major
hobby. The record price for a poster was set on Novem-
ber 15, 2005 when US$690,000 was paid for a poster of
Fritz Lang's 1927 lm Metropolis from the Reel Poster
Gallery in London.[17] Other early horror and science c-
tion posters are known to bring tremendous prices as well,
with an example from The Mummy realizing $452,000 in
a 1997 Sothebys auction,[17] and posters from both The
Black Cat and Bride of Frankenstein selling for $334,600
in various Heritage Auctions.[18] The 1931 Frankenstein
6-sheet poster, of which only 1 copy is known to exist,
is considered to be the most valuable lm poster in the
world.[19]

5.3.1 Railway posters

In the early days of steam railways in Britain, the var-

ious rail companies advertised their routes and services
on simple printed sheets. By the 1850s, with increas-
ing competition and improvements in printing technol-
ogy, pictorial designs were being incorporated in their
advertising posters. The use of graphic artists began to
inuence the design of the pictorial poster. In 1905,

Boxing Posters were used in and around the actual venue

to advertise the forthcoming ght, date, ticket prices,

Many concerts, particularly rock concerts, have custom-

designed posters that are used for advertisement of the
event. These often become collectors items as well.
