United States Automobile Exhibition Poster Stamp Catalog B Stephen McMahon

This book is about advertising, fashion, art and automobile shows. It is a fully illustrated memoir of a very artistic and colorful era of United States history. It is centered on poster stamps which were a very popular advertising medium for Automobile Exhibitions prior to World War II. Every Automobile Exhibition that used that medium is identified with poster stamps, magazine covers, historical notes, posters and vintage newspaper clippings. Trends in both fashion and the arts are illustrated here as they progressed through classical, art deco and modern art phases. This book is an exciting catalog not only of poster stamps but also of the history of automobile exhibitions through the first four decades of the twentieth century.
