Vintage Posters and Prints - Collector Information | Collectors Weekly

Posters and prints enjoy a number of obvious similarities. For example, both are multiples, which simply means that more than one version of the image exists, and posters and prints are often produced using the exact same techniques. In the case of a poster, though, the edition size is not necessarily fixed or even documented. To make matters more complicated, some of the earliest fine-art etchings and woodblock prints were produced in what are sometimes called “open editions.” Today, however, prints are typically signed and numbered, which is the main reason why prints tend to be more highly valued than posters.

One important difference between the two categories is that many printmaking techniques go back much further than poster technologies such as lithography, which only dates to the late 18th century. Historians believe that woodcutting probably originated in China around the early 9th century. By the 15th century the German engraver Albrecht Dürer was using this ancient technique to create prints of incredible detail.
The rise in advertising during the Victorian Era spurred inventions such as the four-color lithograph, which was used to produce, among other things, appealing images for advertisers. In 1867, Jules Cheret, inspired—perhaps ironically—by Japanese woodcuts, used the newly-developed system to combine text and images into a poster. Soon, European artists like Alphonse Mucha and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec were creating posters combining Art Nouveau aesthetics with easily understandable sales pitches...

Is Anything REALLY Free?

Aren't we all just a little suspicious when we see the word "FREE"? I know I am. From experience, free isn't usually free, and that is sad. If we read something, we should be able to take it at face value...believe it, but it seems that we are suspect of many things these days. (I guess that is how the old cliche' was coined..."If it seems to good to be true, it probably is").
Well, at Bags Unlimited, we would like to redeem your faith in "FREE". No, really! There ARE things you can get for free at Bags Unlimited. "Like what?" you say? Well, let's start with FREE shipping east of the Mississippi, and Free WEST of the Mississippi if you spend 200.00. Samples are FREE! YOU CAN GET FREE STUFF TO HELP PROMOTE YOUR SHOW!

Spring is coming...Let the shows begin!

Generally we don't take our products on the road but we are thinking about branching out this year. It's also pretty dangerous to travel from our Upstate NY home town of Rochester in the winter months as we are prone to terrible snow storms and I don't like risking my guys safety. But this morning I saw the geese returning and I charted my vegetable garden planting schedule this past weekend, so I'm thinking it's safe to go back on the road. We have a few things that we like to do for shows depending where they're located and the attendance.

1) Send our catalogs and some freebies or give-aways for show raffles at no charge
2) List your show on our links page (we get 49,000+ unique visitors per month)
3) Attend shows for those close enough to NY State and a large enough attendance
4) Co-op printed trade show bags for appropriate exchanges

So if there's a show you'd like us to consider or if you're having a show and would like some freebies to give to your show attendees, give us whistle and we'll get back to you. Actually email moyer@bagsunlimited.com or dstreet@bagsunlimited.com or call 800-767-2247 and ask for Marion or Dave.
