Diving into the past is like no other sensation. Watching black and white movies, listening to vinyl records and wearing antique jewelry put a charming spell of curiosity on us. And we try to envelope ourselves in this sensation by collecting authentic porcelain vases, retro comic books or even vintage posters. If you are also enchanted by the idea of decorating your home with vintage posters, make sure to visit the
Chisholm Larsson Gallery.
Located in Chelsea, the 30-year-old Gallery is the ultimate resource for original international vintage posters. It offers over 35,000 authentic advertising posters published since the 1890s. Hang on your walls artistically designed posters that reflect social realities, historical moments and entertainment legends like Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando. The poster selection includes over 15,000 classic movie posters from Italy, France, Swiss and Poland designed by artists such as Lenica, Ballester, Martinati and Bass. Inside, you can also find original liquor, travel, fashion and political posters written in different languages with long-forgotten slogans complemented by popular images. The Gallery is open Tuesday through Friday, 11 - 7 and Saturday 11 - 5.
Chisholm Larsson Gallery is located at 148 8th Avenue and can be reached at (212) 741-1703.

What about the propaganda posters back from the Cold War and WWII, such as these?: http://www.nh.gov/nhsl/ww2/index.html
There's a certain nostalgic element to them; there's also the added bonus that in this day and age, with evolved social norms, many of the posters are extremely humorous.
