Introduction:
The first issue of the INTERNATIONAL POSTER ANNUAL was highly praised in letters from the trade, in reviews and press criticism, and
has won a place in the attention and appreciation of international experts. Compiled, designed and edited by W. H. Allner, this second edition again assembles a striking collection of posters by over 200 artists and designers, representing 15 different countries. An indispensable supplement

directors, advertising directors, editors, printers, art students, art teachers, and others.
