A beautiful book on Poster art

Don't miss this book. Beautifully produced and a fitting tribute to the poster artists of the period.

Great Book for a Great Subject

A beautifully produced retrospective of the posters of a distinctly Canadian company. This book is full of large high quality reproductions of travel posters commissioned by the Canadian Pacific, ranging from classic illustrations to beautiful typography. A must have for fans of vintage travel posters or posters in general, and a good source of inspiration for designers.
