South-East Asian Vintage travel posters

The modern poster, as we know it, dates back to 1870 when the printing industry perfected color lithography. This delightful advance in art allowed the whole new art form of color posters to flourish. Advertising agencies were quick to exploit the new poster art style. Most of our vintage poster art was designed for or popularized by the advertising industry. Today it is easy to appreciate this classic artwork, and display it in our homes, through the prints and posters Retro Shop Cambodia makes available for you.

Since the late 1800's the tourism and travel industry has used color poster art to communicate the advantages of a particular holiday destination or mode of travel. Railways, cruise lines and airlines created many visually attractive and compelling travel posters which Retro shop Cambodia has found and reproduced for all of us to enjoy. Reproductions that are every bit as stunning and brilliant as the originals, sometimes over a hundred years old, are now economically available in a variety of sizes.
