Posters were first hung in public places as a major attraction for a
large audience. It was done with the purpose of conveying information
and advertising a person, an event or a service. For example, political
posters proclaimed propagandistic mottos; theater posters advertised
upcoming performances; restaurant posters presented the establishments
and described the menus.
At present days, the idea of a poster has not changed. These items
depict reproductions of famous paintings; photos; various events
(historical or fictitious); a vast range of different objects (flowers,
cars and many others) etc. Car posters occupy an important position in
the rating of the most demanded images. This type of posters is usually
divided into categories, such as retro cars (which are represented by
out-of-date vehicles constructed in the first decades of the twentieth
century); sports cars (specialized modern speed motor vehicles with two
seats, powerful 8-12 cylinder engines and sharp acceleration) and other
pictures. Moreover, every automobile trademark issues car posters which
represent the whole vehicle model range produced by a given company.
