Author Description

The exhibition focuses on advertising from 1890 to 1950, mostly produced in Barcelona and its surrounding area, given that the Catalan graphic-art industry had highly skilled companies and workshops. These included the Badalona tin plate industries and others from the ceramic industry, which was centred in Valencia. Because in addition to effective advertising using paper posters on street walls, so popular and sought-after by collectors since the end of the 19th century, these were also advertisements that used tinplate, cardboard and ceramic tiles.
