Music had my heart first, until
the lens of a camera stole it away…
Serendipity had it, that the golden age of transport innovation danced in time with the birth of the artistic poster.
This perfect union of modernity and mobility, mirrored in mass production, painted a vivid picture of the times.
It was a happy coincidence
that many of the great developments and inventions in transport
happened at the same time new ways for the pictorial Poster.
Capturing modern times and traveling in new styles and mass
production took root.
