Birth of the modern poster examines poster art and its evolution from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.

Drawn exclusively from the National Gallery’s collection of international posters the exhibtion takes us on a journey from one age to another, with each of the more than forty works in the exhibition originally conceived as ephemeral posters, representing a step along the way.
