You can find the best deals on vintage fruit and vegetable posters - all you need is know where to look for. Old book shops, collectors' networks, art galleries, flea markets are passé; the new buzz in the vintage poster market is the internet. Internet democratizes art; it allows everyone to search and buy vintage posters. You do not have to be a collector or an art maven to buy vintage posters. Many people buy vintage posters for decorating their homes or offices.

Fruits and Vegetables as Art Poster art started with simple drawings and text on paper. Printing posters was difficult in the18th century because colors could not be mass printed. In the 19th century, Cheret invented stone lithography. It gave rise to poster art as we know today. The artists of that era did not paint fruits; and drawings of vegetables came much later. Alphonse Mucha and Toulouse Lautrec started with high art - frequently paintings of stage actresses, baroque jewelry, but not humdrum artifacts of daily life.

In the 20th century, posters became more affordable for advertisers. A range of posters were printed for advertising ocean liners, children's cough medicine, shoes, hats - just about everything of use to people in the streets! This was when posters related to food came into focus. Fruit and vegetable posters were printed for sticking on crates, carts, and shop windows. Because these posters were printed for the general public, you will not have too much trouble locating them online.

Selecting a Poster Any site dedicated to vintage posters throws up options galore upon a search for "fruits and vegetables posters". To determine the value of the poster and whether you should invest in it, you need to take into account factors such as the artist, art style, condition, availability, and method of restoration. Fruit and vegetable vintage posters in general do not find too many takes, since the subject is not considered quite at par with jewelry, ocean liners, sports, or even fashion.

In the end, what counts is how well the vintage poster complements the general décor, or how much it fetches if you sell it. It will take you some time before you can become an art investor, but a move into fruits and vegetable posters can be a good way to start.
