Interesting article in The Daily Telegraph by Fanny Johnstone looking at the history, appeal, print methods, trends, artistic and financial merit of investing in original vintage motoring posters: "Old motoring posters make perfect presents and can be great investments...Posters might be designed as cheap and ephemeral items, seen by the public for only a few days or weeks before they are pasted over, but to the motoring cognoscenti, bills illustrated by well-known artists such as Geo Ham and Michael Turner are just as synonymous with style and glamour as Andy Warhol or Jackie Onassis...Original posters can be worth as much as £25,000, but as with any fine-art investment, you'll need to know a little of its history so you can understand how to play the market..." concluding with a final word of advice: "The best approach is to buy to enjoy."
