From the nineteenth‑century boom in lithography to contemporary public art and protest, Posters: A Global History surveys how posters shape urban space around the world. It argues for the poster’s continued physical presence and visual power even amid digital media.

Drawing on examples from London, Ramallah, Los Angeles, Lagos, the Soviet Union, China and beyond, the book follows posters as tools of advertising, propaganda, pop culture and dissent. It examines where posters are made, how they circulate and the design strategies that make them effective in public.

Useful for designers, historians and students of visual culture, the volume is richly illustrated and wide‑ranging. Key features:

• Comparative global survey of poster history
• Illustrated examples across continents
• Focus on production, circulation and public impact
