Limited Edition Posters

Often, the smaller the edition size, the more valuable the print. This is because collectors view limited prints as being closer in relation to the artist’s original intention for the work. Additionally, if a poster is hand signed and dated, this increases its value. In order to build trust with collectors, artists should be consistent in how they label their works and be clear about the run sizes. Additionally, they should also present collectors with a professional invoice and Certificate of Authenticity upon sale.

Retro Indian Posters

In the era before TV, radio and newspapers, posters were an important medium of information. They were a vital part of India’s history and they helped in shaping the nation that we know today. Posters were the first form of advertising in India and they were used on shop fronts, railway stations and even lamp posts. These posters were painted by renowned artists of the time such as Raja Ravi Varma, M.V. Dhurandhar and S.L. Haldankar.

A poster is a glimpse into the bustling marketplaces and changing consumer trends. It is also a time capsule that gives you a view of the dawn of independence through advertisements for indigenous products as well as reflecting a country’s escalating self-belief. The collection of these posters transcends their commercial purpose and provides an intriguing insight into the social evolution, cultural trends and artistic expressions.
