GRAPHICS & ORIGINAL ARTWORK

The radical and reform movements of the 19th and 20th centuries produced no end of remarkable graphic works, including the great satirical work of the leftist cartoonists of the Masses era; the Social Realism of the artists, photographers and lithographers of the AAA and WPA; and of course many thousands of visually stunning posters announcing (and denouncing!) everything from sit-down strikes to genocide. This vital aspect of social history is well represented at Lorne Bair Rare Books, with a selective offering of posters, graphics and original artworks from all periods generally in-stock.
