Three commercial art annuals profusely illustrated in black and white and color, featuring advertisements and poster designs by the best designers of the era. The publication was "designed to be of use in showing yearly the best work that is being done for traders, exporters and all whose business is concerned with publicity, and the distribution of goods" (1927 p. 11). The showcased posters fall into the following categories: Travel, Transport, Machinery, Printing, Food, Drink, Tobacco, Amusements and Dress. Essential compendiums for collectors, as many of the posters haven't survived and can only be seen and coveted here.
